Gary,
As you state yourself, they are allowed in Gedcom. So the question has to be
asked as to why the developer of PhpGedView is stripping an allowed
character, the absence of which is now going to cause you and other users a
problem?
This is not a problem with Gramps.

Never mud wrestle with a pig.. you get dirty and the pig enjoys it!
Never try to teach a pig to dance. You waste your time and annoy the pig.
Theoretically pigs can fly if propelled with enough force.
