special characters were rendered as funny characters

Anish Chandran

Hi,

                While entering data in textarea, some special characters were rendered as funny characters. We are copy pasting the data from a word doc to the textarea. On saving, data with funny character is updated in the database. We have to avoid this and should render the data with correct characters. Please suggest a solution for correcting this issue.

 

Thanks & Regards,

Anish Chandran

Mmh, it should be UTF-8 all the way. I just tried entering Chinese  
characters in the Bookshelf example, and things seem to go through  
just fine.

Maybe the issue resides in how you are talking to the database?

Hi Erik,

Our xforms already contains this encoding format, ie
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
Anything else to be included. Problem is mainly occurring for some
bulleted characters (bullet symbol).

Thanks & Regards,
Anish Chandran

Hello Erik, Anish,
 
noticed that copying/pasting from Word .doc is to be avoided.  Haven't found out exactly what happens but Word seems to load character encoding that is not acceptable? Pasting from  .txt is acceptable.
 
BTW, we avoid pasting anything from .doc, period.

It is good if your XML document specifies an encoding, but that does  
not guarantee that the document in fact contains properly encoded  
characters. Your editor, or other software, could still mess things up.
