I got a text area attached to tineyMCE tool bar (ver 4.6.6). But when a symbol from tinyMCE tool bar or two consecutive spaces are added to the text area, and after the page is refreshed. The symbols or the double spaces are getting replaced by Â.
I've tried the suggestions provided in the tinyMCE forums and tried setting the entity_encoding: named, raw, numeric. But still none of this options are working. Can some one please help?
You need to set the encoding in tinymce. The encoding should happen when you are saving the text as well as rendering text inside tinymce.
In your case, the text you saved and re-rendered has different encodings.
Update your code with following. It worked for me.
tinymce.init({
....
encoding: 'xml',
entity_encoding: 'named+numeric+raw',
entities: '160,nbsp'
});

I noticed on my website, http://www.cscc.org.sg/, there's this odd symbol that shows up.
It says L SEP. In the HTML Code, it display the same thing.
Can someone shows me how to remove them?
That character is U+2028 or HTML entity code
which is a kind of newline character. It's not actually supposed to be displayed. I'm guessing that either your server side scripts failed to translate it into a new line or you are using a font that displays it.
But, since we know the HTML and UNICODE vales for the character, we can add a few lines of jQuery that should get rid of the character. Right now, I'm just replacing it with an empty space in the code below. Just add this:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("body").children().each(function() {
$(this).html($(this).html().replace(/
/g," "));
});
});
This should work, though please note that I have not tested this and may not work as none of my browsers will display the character.
But if it doesn't, you can always try pasting your text block onto http://www.nousphere.net/cleanspecial.php which will remove any special characters.
Some fonts render LS as L SEP. Such a glyph is designed for unformatted presentations of the character, such as when viewing the raw characters of a file in a binary editor. In a formatted presentation, actual line spacing should be displayed instead of the glyph.
The problem is that neither the web server nor web browser are interpreting the LS as a newline. The web server could detect the LS and replace it with <br>. Such a feature would fit well with a web server that dynamically generates HTML anyway, but would add overhead and complexity to a web server that serves file contents without modification.
If a LS makes its way to the web browser, the web browser doesn't interpret it as formatting. Page formatting is based only on HTML tags. For example, LF and CR just affect formatting of the HTML source code, not the web page's formatting (except in <pre> sections). The browser could in principle interpret LS and PS (paragraph separator) as <br> and <p>, but the HTML standard doesn't tell browsers to do that. (It seems to me like it would be a good addition.)
To replace the raw LS character with the line separation that the content creator likely intended, you'll need to replace the LS characters with HTML markup such as <br>.
This is the solution for the 'strange symbol' issue.
$(document).ready(function () {
$("body").children().each(function() {
document.body.innerHTML = document.body.innerHTML.replace(/\u2028/g, ' ');
});
})
The jquery/js solutions here work to remove the character, but it broke my Revolution Slider. I ended up doing a search replace for the character on the wp_posts tabel with Better Search Replace plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-search-replace/
When you copy paste the character from a page to the plugin box, it is invisible, but it does work. Before doing DB replaces, always have a database (or full) backup ready! And be sure to uncheck the bottom checkbox to not do a dry run with the plugin.
I have got ឴symbol, that i can't display on web page (utf-8) content type. This symbol without width and can't see at all. How to show it? Code is ឴
for example here http://www.endmemo.com/unicode/khmer.php 6068 and 6069 are not visible, but i need to show it, at least space
Edited:
I'm using Arial or sans-serif. I think, that it is pretty usual fonts. What people do: they making UNIQUE text by inserting this symbol inside usual symbols. For example, user write: "a(invisible symbol of kmer)b(invisible symbol of kmer)" and so on. I see on page only "ab" without any spaces. I tried to put actual character inside html to see it, but with no luck. I thought that symbol, that is not present in font should be question mark or empty square, but not in that case. Solution can't just be simple replace in text.
If your page is UTF-8 then it's better to use the actual character rather than a HTML entity.
Your requested character is not present in many fonts. You can try finding the latest version of Code2000 which appears to support it.
You can see fonts that support this particular character here:
http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/17b4/fontsupport.htm
If you can't find a font and you want to display an empty space instead you could replace it before showing it in the page or put it in a container. The page you linked uses a table cell to hold the character.
I have a database configuration table that holds the rupee symbol ₹.
when my page loads a java class reads this value using jdbc from the sql server database and using xslt transformation displayed in a table.
there are no issues with the $ UK pound symbol etc, but rupee will not display. In the table I see that the value ₹ is displayed and when I view the source I see that the text has been escaped to ₹.
If I edit the source in chrome and change ₹ back to ₹ it displays fine, I'm trying to work out how to prevent this escaping from occurring.
I have tried to escape the & with \₹however this is still encoded to\₹.
I have also tried directly sticking the ₹ into the xslt sheet in line with some text like:
<h2>Some text (₹)</h2>
but with this it displays as 'Some text (?)'
There must be a simple solution to this one but I've not found anything so far :(
I have a <select> element with some options on a dropdown. on that dropdown i have product some of these product have names that come up with special characters like é. But on the front-end instead of showing the é it shows the ä characters.
for solution I tried to use special characters like É for é inside a textfield. But when I replace the é with É inside a textfield, on the front-end it shows the É My magento store charset is utf8.
i want to use é, $, ä etc... of my Magento store. is there any way to solve this problem tihs doesn't affect the rest of the website
You will have to save the file in UTF-8 as well. Both the file presenting the text, as well as the file that outputs the data that populates the selectbox.
A common misstake, at least for myself, is that when working with UTF-8, you have to ensure that everything is saved using it. Scripts, codebehind, html - Everything.
David Johansson is correct.
I had the same problem with a box with a list of names.
I populated it via a function that looked up the people and created the lines for each person found. However people with names containing accents didn't display correctly.
I resolved it by running my result through iconv before returning the value.
return iconv('ISO-8859-1','UTF-8', $retval);
A website I've made has a few problems... On one of the pages, wherever there's an apostrophe (') or a dash (-), the symbol gets replaced with a weird black diamond with a question mark in the center of it
Here's what I mean
It seems this is happening all over the site wherever these symbols appear. I've never seen this before, can anyone explain it to me?
Suggestions on how to fix it would also be greatly appreciated.
See http://test.rfinvestments.co.za/index.php?c=team for a clear look at the problem.
It's an encoding problem. You have to set the correct encoding in the HTML head via meta tag:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
Replace "ISO-8859-1" with whatever your encoding is (e.g. 'UTF-8'). You must find out what encoding your HTML files are. If you're on an Unix system, just type file file.html and it should show you the encoding. If this is not possible, you should be able to find out somewhere what encoding your editor produces.
You need to change your text to 'Plain text' before pasting into the HTML document. This looks like an error I've had before by pasting straight from MS word.
MS word and other rich text editors often place hidden or invalid chars into your code. Try using — for your dashes, or ’ for apostrophes (etc), to eliminate the need for relying on your char encoding.
I have the same issue in my asp.net web application. I solved by this link
I just replace ' with ’ text like below and my site in browser show apostrophe without rectangle around as in question ask.

Look at your actual html code and check that the weird symbols are not originating there. This issue came up when I started coding in Notepad++ halfway after coding in Notepad. It seems to me that the older version of Notepad I was using may have used different encoding to Notepad's++ UTF-8 encoding. After I transferred my code from Notepad to Notepad++, the apostrophes got replaced with weird symbols, so I simply had to remove the symbols from my Notepad++ code.
If you are editing HTML in Notepad you should use "Save As" and alter the default "Encoding:" selection at the botom of the dialog to UTF-8.
you should also include-
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
This un-ambiguously sets the correct character set and informs the browser.
I experienced the same problem when I copied a text that has an apostrophe from a Word document to my HTML code.
To resolve the issue, all I did was deleted the particular word in my HTML and typed it directly, including the apostrophe. This action nullified the original copy and paste acton and displayed the newly typed apostrophe correctly
What I really don't understand with this kind of problem is that the html page I ran as a local file displayed perfectly in Chromium browser, but as soon as I uploaded it to my website, it produced this error.
Even stranger, it displayed perfectly in the Vivaldi browser whether displayed from the local or remote file.
Is this something to do with the way Chromium reads the character set? But why only with a remote file?
I fixed the problem by retyping the text in a simple text editor and making sure the single quote mark was the one I used.
