Special Character Not Displaying as Expected

Special character not displaying as expected

1 - Replace your

<meta charset="utf-8">

with

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

2 - Check if your HTML Editor's encoding is in UTF8. Usually this option is found on the tabs on the top of the program, like in Notepad++.

3 - Check if your browser is compatible with your font, if you're somehow importing a font. Or try and add a css to set your fonts to a default/generally accepted one like

body
{
    font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
}

Hope it helps :)

utf-8 special characters not displaying

This is really annoying problem to fix but you can try these.

First of all, make sure the file is actually saved in UTF-8 format.

Then check that you have <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8"> in your HTML header.

You can also try calling header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8'); at the beginning of your PHP script or adding AddDefaultCharset UTF-8 to your .htaccess file.

Special Characters Validation Not Working as expected

This should work. Your ending $ is what is keeping it from matching anything within the string:

$("textarea[id$=<%= TxtValue.ClientID %>]").keyup(function () {
            var txt = $(this).val();
            var regex = new RegExp('[^0-9a-zA-Z-,_.\:\s]+');
            var vldttxt = regex.test(txt);
            if (txt.length > 0 && vldttxt === true) {
                alert("Error");
            }
            var noSpclChar = txt.replace(regex, "");
            this.value = noSpclChar;
        });

Flutter - Character encoding is not behaving as expected

The problem is that your JSON is stored locally.

Let's say you have

Map<String, String> jsonObject = {"info": "Æ æ æ Ö ö ö"};

So to show your text correctly you have to encode and decode back your JSON with utf-8.

I understand that's serialization and deserialization are costly operations, but's it's a workaround for locally stored JSON objects that contains UTF-8 texts.

import 'dart:convert';
jsonDecode(jsonEncode(jsonObject))["info"]

If you get that JSON from server, then it's much more simpler, for example in dio package you can chose contentType params that's is "application/json; charset=utf-8" by default.

Strings with special characters not rendering correctly in innerHTML

This has nothing to do with “escape sequences”, but with the meaning < and > simply have in HTML.

The browser thinks you are stating an HTML tag with <… – and tags do not show on screen in HTML, they are part of the structure.

You don’t want what you created interpreted as HTML, you want it treated as text - so don’t use .innerHTML, use .innerText instead.

Special character not getting displayed in UI

When boiled down to the absolute minimum required to demonstrate the problem, your code looks like this:

.custom-button::after {content:'➜';}

<input type="submit" class="custom-button" value="Sign in"/>

Special characters in sql not displaying correctly

This is not a problem of your SQL, most likely your server side code is converting special char to HTML entities using htmlentities. Not sure what language you are using, PHP for example, you can use html_entity_decode to display it correctly.

$str = "a'string";
echo htmlentities($str,ENT_QUOTES);                                //OUTPUT a'string
echo html_entity_decode(htmlentities($str,ENT_QUOTES),ENT_QUOTES); //OUTPUT a'string

Javascript replace function is not working as expected with special character

It happens because $ is used to replace substring: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/replace#description

You just have to add one more dollar sign before every dollar. This string CalEventId+'$'+$parentContext.$index()+'$'+$index() should look like this CalEventId+'$$'+$$parentContext.$$index()+'$$'+$index()
