I have a webpage with an 'o' with an acute. How would I get this entity to display in sIFR3?
I have output the html as both ó and ó
Many thanks,

Quoting the doc:
Special characters
If you want to use special characters
in your text; characters like » or
special language characters that are
not in font by default you must add it
in Flash before publishing it to SWF.
Open the hidden text box. Select it
and click the Character button in the
Properties pallette. Add the special
characters in the textbox at the
bottom of the dialog box.

We have a record in SQL database, which contains a ASCII 26 character:
SELECT char(26)
From the looking, it's like a arrow, which we can see it in the Eclipse debugging. However, when we try to output it to HTML front-end, it just skipped that character. What's more strange is, the arrow does appear in page source.
It seems 26 belongs to control characters. So is it possible to display the arrow in HTML? Why some place like the debugging window of Eclipse can show it well?
It's a control character, unprintable by definition. Some character sets (or fonts, not sure which determines that) do print control characters; Unicode is not one of them. See Browser Test Page for Unicode Character 'SUBSTITUTE' (U+001A).
Decide what you actually want to display, and replace this character with an actually printable Unicode character.
You could for example use →, →, Unicode Character 'RIGHTWARDS ARROW' (U+2192).
We are using the Rich Text Editor in CQ, with special characters.
Whenever we add special characters by our button in the RTE, the character is added but is saved as the character in the source too, rather than the encoded HTML entity.
We are calling:
doc.execCommand("InsertHTML", false, htmlToInsert);
In htmlToInsert, we are sending the HTML code value of special character like ¥ for yen, but it is saving ¥ for yen, not ¥.
We need to store HTML code values only. Please help me in achieving this.
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);
I want to put an email address on a website, and protect it (at least a little, I don't want to use JavaScript encoding) from spam.
The method I use is printing Unicode characters in my HTML, so bots don't recognise the email addresses.
The code:
somethingk@hotmailˬom
Output:
something#hotmailˬom
What goes wrong: The dot (002E) displays as a 02EC Unicode character. When I print . without any text directly next to it, the dot is displayed like it should.
Add a semicolon after HTML entities.
somethingk#hotmail.com

I need to put the name of some universities on my web page. I have typed them as they were but in some browser or maybe some computers they appear differently. For example, "Universite de Moncton" should have the 2nd "e" in Universite with an accent acute over it. Could you please help about it.
If you’re using a character set that contains that character, you can use an appropriate character encoding and use it literally:
Université de Moncton
Don’t forget to specify the character set/encoding properly.
If not, you can use an HTML character reference, either a numeric character reference that denotes the code point of the character in the Universal Character Set (UCS):
Université de Moncton
Université de Moncton
Or using an entity reference:
Université de Moncton
But this entity is just a named representation of the numeric character reference (see the list of entity references that are defined in HTML 4):
<!ENTITY eacute CDATA "é" -- latin small letter e with acute,
U+00E9 ISOlat1 -->
You can use UTF-8 HTML Entities:
è è
é é
ê ê
ë ë
Here's a handy search page for the UTF-8 Character Map
I think from the mention that 'in some computers or browsers they appear differently' that the problem you have is with the page or server encoding. You must
encode the file correctly (how to do this depends on your text editor)
assign the correct encoding in your webpage, done with a meta tag
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
force the server encoding with, for example, PHP's header() function:
header('Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1');
Or, yes, as everyone has pointed out, use the html entities for those characters, which is always safe, but might make a mess when you try to find-replace in code.
There are two methods. One is by using "HTML entities." You need to enter them as, for example, é. Here is a comprehensive reference of named entities; you can also reference the Unicode code point of a given character, using its decimal form as Ӓ or its hex form as Ӓ.
Perhaps more common now (ten years after this answer was originally entered) is simply using Unicode characters directly. Rất dễ dàng, phải không? This is more acceptable and universal because most pages now use UTF-8 as their character encoding.
运气！
By typing it in to your HTML code. é <--You can copy and paste this one if you want.
Microsoft windows has a character map for accessing characters not on your keyboard, it's called Character map.

This site shows you the HTML markup for all of those characters that you will need :)
