I want to have in my <title> tag a star character (★). It's not a problem to put &starf or ★ but when I put something like this in html code, when I view source code , of website I see real html code. I want to see star in source code. Is it possible - I can see it here: http://www.kabinysanitarne.pl/
Anybody knows how can I do this? :)
You type a ★ and ensure that the character encoding of the HTML matches the encoding specified in the HTTP headers (and any meta tags that specify it).

I want to add a back link in html. Because my code makes a link open in a new tab I made my code close the current code. So I typed this:
↩ Back
But it shows up with this: ↩ Back not this: ↩ Now I'm wondering if you can't actually put symbols on to html.
If anyone knows the answer I will be very happy.
You can add the same symbol using Unicode. The html code is
↵ you can add different symbols on HTML even emojis. More on on this here. Hope this helps.
One way to show a Unicode symbol in HTML would be to substitute it for its character entity.
The character you're looking for in this case is either ↩, ↩, ↩ or ↩:
<div>↩</div>
<div>↩</div>
<div>↩</div>
<div>↩</div>
A full list of character entities can be found here for reference.
<meta charset="UTF-8"> to change your encoding? From w3schools. You might need a different encoding.
On http://google.com's source code (view-source:https://www.google.com/), there is the a meta tag like this:
<meta content="Let the matches begin! Celebrate ⚽ around the 🌎🌍🌏 in today's #GoogleDoodle!" property="twitter:description">
How were those those emojis added to the source code? How is it possible to generate such a page dynamically (what would be written on the server side for the HTML to be generated like this)?
Those are Unicode characters.
For adding emojis into HTML, you can use the decimal (dec) or hexadecimal (hex) reference found in the table on w3school web page.
You can also check my shoe emojis example by running the code snippet below :-)

While Iam copying text phrase from notepad++ (phrase include spaces, copyright symbol (©), registered symbol (®) etc) to the html, after saving the html page, it is showing weird characters like  instead of space and other also.
On my html page, Iam having charset under meta tag like charset=UTF-8.
Issue is occurring while copying text from notepad++ only.
Please assist me to resolve this problem.
In HTML (as far as I know), you should always use HTML entities for representing characters like © (which is provided as ©). Here is a complete list of HTML Entities
I'm trying to include a simple hyperlink in a website:
...Engineers (IEEE) projects:
So that it ends up looking like "...Engineers (IEEE) projects:" with "IEEE" being the hyperlink.
When I click on copy link address and paste the address, instead of getting
http://www.ieee.ucla.edu/
I get
http://www.ieee.ucla.edu/%C3%A2%E2%82%AC%C5%BD
and when I click on the link, it takes me to a 404 page.
Check the link. These special character are added automatically by browser (URL Encoding).
Url Encoding
Use this code and it will work::
IEEE
The proper format to add hyperlink to a html is as follow
(texts to be hyperlink)
and for better understanding go through this link http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_links.asp
%C3%A2%E2%82%AC%C5%BD represents „ which is when you get when a unicode „ is being parsed as Windows-1252 data.
Use straight quotes to delimit attribute values in your real code. You are doing this in the code you have included in the question, but that won't have the effect you are seeing. Presumably your codes are being transformed at some point in your real code.
Add appropriate HTTP headers and <meta> data to tell the browser what encoding your file is really using
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.
