The dollar sign ($) is replaced with '@'s when sending update via SMS.
The dollar sign ($) is replaced with '@'s when sending update via SMS. My phone's carrier is Virgin Mobile USA. This issue doesn't seem to occur via the Web interface.

I’m feeling hatred towards character encoding.

Inappropriate?I'm seeing the same issue. Here's my phone's sent messages page:
And here's ping.fm's recent posts page:
I’m waiting for unicode to be truly universally used.

Inappropriate?I checked the logs and verified that we did receive both of your messages with the @ and not the $. We receive hundreds of sms with the @ and $ correctly. While analyzing more, I noticed both of your messages were exactly 140 characters. If you send that exact same message to another person with a different model of phone do they see it with an @? Have you sent other messages to Ping.fm with a $ that had the same problem?
I’m puzzled

Inappropriate?I don't remember sending other messages with the US dollar sign via SMS, so I can't say if it's a new or old issue. I tried sending a message from my LG Flare (Virgin Mobile USA - LX165) to my email and there was no altering of the message.
I tried sending two updates shorter than 140 characters, and they seemed to work.

Actually, I just tried sending the exact update from the same phone, and it works now: http://twitter.com/The_PHP_Jedi/statu...
Could've been a hiccup or something, although it's still quite strange. :/
Today my phone tried to trick me as well (unrelated issue)... it must think it's smarter than me! :P
I’m amused at my phone's attempts to make a fool of me today,
