I have uploaded wordpress site on live , then the one "�" sign is being appearing in between content , but it is fine in local. How to remove please suggest me ? I am not able fix the problem.
Example - Frédèric becomes Fr�d�ric.
Ensure that your web page also uses the UTF-8 encoding:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
If you use PHP, you can send your own headers in this way (you have to put this before any other output):
<?php header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8'); ?>

I have set in my html page:
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
but still I am not able to see the special chars and instead there is replacement.
I have set:
define("MENU_TEXT_LINK3", "Medica Ärztebedarf");
and as you can see in the top right menu site it is not shown.
The meta charset in html page was set fine. The problem was that the packet header was not set fine, so I changed basic configuraation charset in codeigniter and it works
You can try change the file charset encoding or use html entities to avoid that.
For some reason, special characters are not displaying on my website. My site is full of →““ and so on.
My HTML header has
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8">
My htaccess file has
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
I've tested the website on http://www.webconfs.com/http-header-check.php and it correctly returns
Content-Type => text/html; charset=utf-8
The CMS I'm using uses PHP, does not use a database, and includes
('Content-Type', 'text/html; charset=utf-8');
The website uses markdown (.md) files, but I don't know why that would be causing the problem? What else can I do to debug/fix this problem?
I finally discovered the problem was a plugin I had installed and not an issue with my HTML/htaccess/files. Always make sure to check if a 3rd party is messing you up. The code I cited in the question should be all that is needed to ensure UTF-8 is rendering unless you've got plugins/scripts that interfere with theme initialization.
I got a problem with my character encoding. Whenever I load a page in the browser, It shows like this:
So I need to manually configure it by the browser. Thanks for your help.
sounds like you don't serve your content as utf-8. do this by setting the correct header:
header('Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
in addition to be really sure the browser understands, add a meta-tag:
<meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
note that, depending on where the text comes from, you might have to check some other things too (database-connection, source-file-encoding, ...) - i've listed a lot of them in one of my answers to a similar question.
As stated by kraikkonen85 in this comment:
Besides setting mysql_set_charset and adding utf8 setting metadata
to html, another important but "unpredictable" reason is the encoding
type of your PHP editor when saving. For example, if you save the php
file other than encodings such as "unicode" or "ANSI", as i
experienced, you may notice weird chars like squares, question marks
etc.
To make sure, try "save as" method to see explictly that your php file
is being saved as utf8.
it may be because your content might not utf-8 you can set utf-s by setting the header and meta
header('Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
<meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
I'm working on a php site that needs both Japanese and English. In most places I have no trouble getting the Japanese to display correctly, but I can't get the characters to display if I use a function like this:
echo.php:
<?php
function draw(){
echo "日本語";
}
draw();
?>
I get "日本語"
but if I try this :
index.php:
<?php
some stuff
include "echo.php";
draw();
?>
I get "???".
Is there any way for me to get my echo file to send the data to the first file in a way it can read it?
EDIT:
The website works, and shows Japanese characters correctly, except when it tries to pull a function from a php file
Here's the code:
<html lang="ja">
<head>
<title>Running Projects</title>
<meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type">
</head>
<body>
<div id="header">
<? php include "layout.php" ?>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Where layout.php is just a file with a list of links, I have this on each page so the links are on every page.
For a different part, I have to use functions.php to get some data from a database and write it to the page, so, I tried putting layout.php into the functions.php and calling it: The English links appeared, but the Japanese links appeared as question marks.
You should change your file encoding to UTF-8 and set the header on the website to UTF-8.
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
in HTML5 you should use:
<meta charset="utf-8" />
or in php
header('content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
You problem definitely has something to do with the character encoding. Try to check the following:
All your strings in all PHP scripts are Unicode (UTF-8 is a very common choice). Use utf8_encode() and/or utf8_decode() to force UTF-8 on your strings where necessary.
Your server sends PHP output as Unicode (UTF-8 and preferably, but not necessarily, gzipped data)
Your browser understands and accepts Unicode (UTF-8). Typically browser would send Accept-Charset: UTF-8,*;q=0.5 in the GET request to hint it's Unicode capability.
Finally, I have checked your code with PHP version 5.3.6 and Firefox, Chrome and IE 9. Firefox and Chrome prints the Japanese characters as expected. It's only IE 9 which doesn't print it correctly. Snooping on the GET request from IE reveals, it is indeed not sending any Accept-Charset: UTF-8,*;q=0.5. I am not entirely sure how to force IE to send that because in my case, clearly my server (Apache) together with PHP was definitely sending UTF-8 string back.
One more hint - you may try converting your strings into HTML entities. For example - echo "©"; would print ©. But, I am not 100% sure how to convert all strings into HTML entities using PHP. I have unsuccessfully attempted with htmlentities() and htmlspecialchars(). But, it didn't change anything for IE.
i have same problem. But i handle it.
convert "echo.php"'s encoding to EUC-JP or SHIFT-JIS.
<?php
function draw(){
echo mb_convert_encoding("日本語", 'UTF-8', array('EUC-JP', 'SHIFT-JIS', 'AUTO'));
}
draw();
?>
This works for me :)
That happens when charset is not defined or is incorrect.
You can use meta tags to define the charsets. Place the following meta tags as needed on the head section of the page, and It will be rendered correctly.
HTML 4
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
HTML 5
<meta charset="utf-8" />
add below meta tags to header
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="ja" />
MySQL and PHP need to be handling the same character set.
Try adding ..
mysqli_set_charset("utf8");
.. after connecting to your database. Always works for me!
If you are using php and mssql you will also need to specify characterset in the mssql connection string.
Like this:
$connectionInfo = array("Database"=>"db name", "UID"=>"username", "PWD"=>"pw","CharacterSet" => "UTF-8");
$serverName = "server";
$conn = sqlsrv_connect($serverName, $connectionInfo);
Please note you still need to do the things suggested above
declare your html charset like this HTML 5:
<meta charset="utf-8" />
php charset like this:
header('content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
I've got a little problem with the tag in combination with PHP. My code is:
$title = '....';
echo '<title>'.htmlspecialchars($title).'</title>';
When i use "Niederländische Zitate" the browser outputs "Niederl�ndische Zitate"
When i use "Niederländische Zitate" the browser outputs "Niederländische Zitate"
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
Anyone has an idea how to fix this?
In addition to meta tag, you also need to:
a) send UTF-8 header like this:
header ('Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
in the very beginning of your script.
b) and save the script file as UTF-8 without BOM encoding. Use any good code editor, like Notepad++ which allows this.
