Why is © changed to © in the IDE?

When creating an aspx page in Visual Studio.NET, the © HTML encode sequence is changed to the © character. Any idea why this happens? Also, does having the © character in your HTML mess up rendering in non-IE browsers?

Thanks!

No, it shouldn't mess up any display rendering. When you mean it gets changed do you mean in the HTML code view or the design view?

Thanks for the reply. To replicate what I am experiencing...

1) In the IDE and from the HTML view of an aspx page, place © somewhere.

2) Save the page.

3) Switch to the Design view and make a change to the page from the design surface.

4) Save the page.

5) Go back to the HTML view. The IDE converts the © to © such that the © is no longer in your actual HTML (i.e. it is replaced with ©).
