Email character encoding errors in Apple Mail

We’re currently testing emails being sent out and have noticed that the character encoding seems to be somewhat bugged for a couple of email clients (Apple Mail for example).

GPB (£) symbols and even ampersands (&) are being rendered as a replacement character (�) instead.

The email templates already contain the standard meta tag:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

Is there anything else that can be done to rectify this on our end?

If not, is this something Shopify needs to be made aware of to resolve or is it simply a client error?

I can’t imagine a client as big as Apple Mail completely incapable of rendering a basic & or £ sign.

Hi

Did you ever find a solution for this problem?
We have the same problem with æ ø å in Norwegian (Bokmål) and Outlook, where it works in Gmail.

Unfortunately we never heard anything back about this or found a solution.

So disappointing looking for a fix to a simple issue and finding the exact same issue with no resolution
