I'm working on my first phonegap application, an android based simple form app.
My problem is that all my non-latin characters appear unreadable.
I added the content meta tag with utf-8, made sure I saved the file as utf-8, made sure to use font with the needed letters and also added xml:lang to the decleration.
Couldn't find any other idea, because i'm a web dev and this usually solves these issues...
Maybe someone has any idea?
feels like my questions back when I just started web development :)
Thanks!
Just add meta:
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
If you are using Eclipse, which is default for the PhoneGap Android, make sure you applied the utf-8 text file encoding. (Project - Properties - Resource: Text File Encoding - Other [UTF-8]).
The meta tag should also be in your index.html
<head>
<meta charset=utf-8>
...
</head>
sometime it happens from visual studio page Unicode setting: for this go to file > advance save options > select Unicode utf 8 with signature and then click ok.

I have created an Angular 5 application which have German characters. I am working on IntelliJ IDE and have problem in using german characters in html. As per the information already given in these tickets How can I properly display German characters in HTML?
and How can I use special characters in angular directives attributes?, I have added the following lines in my html file:
<html xml:lang="de" lang="de">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" charset="utf-8" />
</head>
...
Also, I have set the file encoding type to UTF-8 in the IDE.
When I compile the code, I can see that they are correctly encoded in the webpack files but when I deploy (openshift deployment), I get gibberish in place of German umlauts: Image with incorrect Encoding
Though when I refresh the page once, it gets corrected: Image with correct Enoding
Can anybody please assist with this issue?
I just went through the Getting Start with Flask on App Engine Standard Environment tutorial. The source code is here.
Firefox and Chrome both the html templates but neither render them when running locally:
dev_appserver.py app.yaml
or in the cloud
gcloud app deploy
The FireFox Developer Tools console tells me that:
The character encoding of the HTML document was not declared. The
document will render with garbled text in some browser configurations
if the document contains characters from outside the US-ASCII range.
The character encoding of the page must be declared in the document or
in the transfer protocol.
I tried adding declaring UTF-8 encoding by adding this line to the html files.
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8"/>
...
but to no avail. Any ideas?
Thanks!
I don't think this is the reason your template is not rendering. But, to get rid of that error, try:
<meta content="text/html;charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type">
<meta content="utf-8" http-equiv="encoding">
To troubleshoot your template, please provide your url handlers, view handler, and template.html
I have set my coding on website using <meta charset="Utf-8"> I have it right written, so if there is a mistake, it is not in my website. Now.. It does not work. I think it is because of website coding is set by "windows-1208" or something like that. But I can not find out how to fix this, because is defined by my computer... any ideas?
<meta charset="Utf-8"> tells the browser to display the page in UTF-8. But if you used an other encoding in your editor (e.g. windows-1208 or so) and saved your html page in that encoding, the page won't be displayed correctly.
Make sure, you saved your file in the same encoding as you declared in the meta tag.
To fix it, open the html document in e.g. Notepad++, choose in the menu «Encoding» «Encode in UTF-8 without BOM»
I have a Unicode problem... I´ve done this before but for now, I cannot understand
why the Icelandic letters don´t show up - I have those question marks again
Here is the url (very plain and short html5)
http://nicejob.is/new/
Everything I Google says: use the <meta charset="utf-8"> as I do.
Any suggestions?
Your page is already viewed as UTF-8. But your source code is not saved as UTF-8.
Please change the encoding of your source code file to UTF-8.
Not all browsers support HTML5-way tags yet
here you can see table of compability
Try this instead:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8">
I can see a couple of issues.
The META should look like this:
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />
The <html> specified lang="en" which might be prone to confusing some browsers.
When I view the HTML from the browser, the question marks are encoded as 0xEF 0xBF 0xBD, which is the UTF-8 encoding for the byte order mark or BOM, aka U+FEFF. So, for whatever reason, the HTML is not transmitted as sensible UTF-8 (though it does seem to be valid UTF-8).
Probably you are using some text editor like notepad++,
and you didn't set up encoding to UTF-8 in that text editor.
What you have to do is to save the file with utf-8 encoding by using Notepad (the attached one with Windows).
Steps:
Save as ..
In the below options ... you will find encoding option choose UTF-8 ...
And save the file ...
Then add the line <meta charset="UTF-8" /> inside your file ...
And it will work.
Unusual problem here: I have an app that uses a text file which contains a few '€' symbols as well as other text in a text file to populate a mysql database. When rendered locally, the € symbol looks fine, but on the linux server and out on the web in html, it looks like this in some browsers:
€2
can anyone suggest a solution
Set the charset in the headers or a <META> element to UTF-8 so that it isn't processed as CP1250.
Use an UTF-8 encoding type on your file and make sure you add a content-type meta tag to your page:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
Hope this helps !
If you are viewing your text (.txt) file as a text and not HTML in browsers window, setting
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
will not do the job as you are dealing with text file,
so tags will not be "hidden", plus it may potentially (even most likely) send garbage to mysql database you are trying to populate (e.g. by auto-harvesting posted online file).
So, if in browser window instead of:
€ 123.39
you are seeing
€2 123.39
problem is not with quality of your text file, but with the way browser handles encoding.
If you need to copy and paste displayed file and "€2" is in the way,
try simply setting your browser default encoding to unicode (UTF-8).
In FF you want to do it here:
Tools-> Options-> Content (tab)-> Fonts&Colors-> Advanced-> Default Char. Encoding
Once there select UTF-8 encoding.
Remember thou that sometimes page reload may not be enough to see changes, due to browser cache. In such case, restart your browser.
