What issue are you seeing?

When chatgpt edit my php pages or sql code, it often converting french special charactors in ? or other encoding which consistently require to ask chatgpt to fix them. I added instruction but issue still occuring. I believe this issue is due to commands that chatgpt execute to edit text. It been fine for a while but problem is now back. Chatgpt ran a DB restore which broke the data again.
