No ways, because currently in your site, Facebook auto detects the description to show, you may need some plugin to add the description manually as an OpenGraph meta tag which is something like http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions ... ions/14476 but unfortunately this plugin is only available for Joomla 1.5 as of now.

If you use default content component, we already have GK Opengraph plugin to manage this.

Hello, I also have this problem. When I post my stories on facebook, it shows strange characters.

How do I solve this.
