This is my title tag in the head:
<title>Title with ö in it</title>
I've tried using different encoding:
<title>Title with ő in it</title>
... but that just displays the same way!
Neither Safari nor Chrome displays ö correctly.
Add
<meta charset="utf-8" />
immediately after your opening
<html>

I have linked my HTML code here. Why is it that when I open this file (locally) on my computer, some special characters will not show. For example, imagine I wrote this code: nwqidn wqindiwq dwqin <wiqndiw
When opened, the browser will not display the last line of gibberish (anything after and including the less-than symbol). I understand that the browser might have some confusion about when to end the tag, but surely the google browser is advanced enough to know the difference between the closing p tag and a random "<" symbol. I know that I can use the Unicode for "<" and it will display, but I'm trying to find a different solution. Is there any special something that I can put (maybe as metadata?) in my HTML file in order to solve this issue? Thanks in advance for any help.
Here's my entire code of the page below:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" charset="utf-8">
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<p> dniqwn qwnid wqudn <inwqd </p>
</body>
You can use < for 'less than' and > for 'greater than' to insert < and > into html.
Otherwise, as you say, the browser will think you're opening a tag.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" charset="utf-8">
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<p> dniqwn qwnid wqudn <inwqd </p>
</body>
I have problems to display the special characters correctly (spanish special characters), i added the meta tag:
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta charset="UTF-16">
<meta charset="ISO-8859-1">.
<html>
<head><meta charset="UTF-8">
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<link href="./docu2_files/special.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
</head>
As soon as i added a special word like:
<li><a id="page7">Instalación de Software</a></li>.
After the save goes like this:
<li><a id="page7">Instalaci�n de Software</a></li>
In notepad the codification is:
UTF-8
In your Notepapd++, try using the Consolas font and then you can try one of these two menu options:
Encoding -> Encode in UTF-8
Encoding -> Convert to UTF-8
I have 2 html pages (index.html and game.html) where I specify the same character encoding UTF-8
in the first page (index.html) every thing works fine but in the second page all characters appear like this �
this is the code of 2 pages :
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title> أصوات</title>
</head>
<body dir="rtl" lang='ar' class="contentBack">
</body>
</html>
the result in my browser:
how can I solve this problem ?
Make sure the file is also saved with the corresponding encoding (in your case UTF8). Setting the right meta charset may not be enough.
I want to display a special caracter but when i used <h2></h2> this caracter does not appear on the web-site page.
<h2>Aéroport Tunis Carthage </h2>
on the web-site the text is: Arport Tunis Carthage.
<h2>Aéroport Tunis Carthage</h2> will do it.
Handy info on encoding can be found here and info on html character entities here.
There are two ways for displaying special characters in HTML:
1) Using HTML entities. For example:
Aéroport
2) Encoding the source HTML file appropriately (e.g. using UTF-8) and then indicating such encoding in the HTML head:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
</head>
<body>
<h2>Aéroport Tunis Carthage </h2>
</body>
</html>
Of course, you have to use a text editor capable of writing files in the desired encoding. Otherwise you should indicate in the <head> the encoding used by the editor.
Try adding this to your meta tags:
HTML4:
<meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type">
HTML5:
<meta charset="UTF-8">
Source:
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_meta_http_equiv.asp
EXAMPLE:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<!-- Meta Tag -->
<meta charset="UTF-8"> <!-- HTML5 -->
<title> Your title here </title>
</head>
i have the following code. it contain Turkish content. but i get the results including special charecter. so please give solution for that.
html code
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />
<META HTTP-EQUIV="content-language" CONTENT="TR" />
<title>test</title>
</head>
<body>
Tarihçe
</body>
</html>
i will get Tarih�e instaed of Tarihçe.
If you can use Turkish encoding below will be the meta tag
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-9" />
else code Tarihçe as
Tarihçe
Change the actual character encoding of the file to UTF-8, using whatever settings need to be used in the program you use to create and edit pages. The file is now in some 8-bit encoding, so the letter ç appears in the data as a byte that is not allowed in UTF-8; hence the � symbol (it indicates character-level data error).
