I am having random squares like ▢ appearing on the website, these keep randomly appearing in different parts of the website from time to time.

I've tested on Mac/Windows and multiple browsers and this is only appearing in Windows Chrome.

They are appearing in the content that you can amend in the CMS but I can only get rid them through the CMS on a Windows computer through Chrome as they don't show anywhere else.

Why is this happening?

I've tried updating the wp-config.php and changing:-

define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8mb4'); to define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');

And even commenting out both of these lines:-

define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8mb4'); define('DB_COLLATE', '');

but neither of these fixed the issue, any suggestions?

@BhavikShah This did not fix the issue, also this is also set in the php.ini `default_charset = "utf-8"` – nsilva Jun 23 '17 at 15:24
