HTML - Problem With Japanese Characters
Hello,
I have a site with UTF-8 encoding. The site uses some japanese characters. However some customer complains that they can see only small boxes instead of the japanese characters both with IE and Firefox. It is probably OS related as the problem occurs only on XP machines (at least until now). But not all XP shows the wrong characters only some of them. Any idea what to suggest to the visitors? Thanks in advance! Similar TutorialsHow should I define the meta "lang" while I'm using both languages, English and Japanese in a single HTML page? Does this markup make sense to you? http://www.hanamiweb.com/utf8test.html Here is my issue: I'm loading an XML that contains special characters (like French characters) and they are not displaying properly. My XML file is encoded in UTF-8. My charset is set to UTF-8 in my HTML document. Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" /> When I take out the charset completely (don't declare character encoding at all), it displays properly?! (Ack!) I want my HTML to validate properly because I'm attempting to write clean XHTML, but this is leaving me a bit confused. Can anyone explain what is happening? Why does it display correctly when I don't specify a charset? I have a problem with IE6 and 7 not rendering a special character, the double up arrow, "& u A r r ;" <a rel="nofollow" href="#top">⇑</a> content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> I am using the special character as link text to get the user to the top of a very, very long page with a single click. The character renders properly in FF, OP and SA. To my dismay, I just discovered that IE renders it as a box on top of the link underline. Is there any simple way, css, magic, etc., that I can get this character to render properly? The single up arrow renders, but looks anemic, and I don't want to have "Top" appearing at the end of every paragraph. (I don't want the search engines to think I am stuffing the keyword "Top".) Two single up arrows looks strange. I'm afraid to use an image since I could encounter position problems with different browsers. While suggestions for alternative design solutions are welcome, I am really after a technical a way to use the double up arrow in IE.

When building the page, the footer is added using a glob. In the footer, there is supposed to be a bunch of Korean characters. Currently, they are not displaying properly. When the glob is viewed alone, it is still incorrect. However, if the source is viewed, the Korean characters are correct in the source, but are displaying incorrectly in the page. The charset is already set to UTF-8. What could be the issue here? Hi I am relatively new to HTML and ASP and have been asked to help update intranet and website pages for a company who very suddenly found themselves without a web developer. I took pages that are currently on the website and changed the content to show the new press release. Everything works absolutely fine in various browser, various versions of browsers and operating systems. The one thing that worries me is I did not use reserved characters anywhere, where I noticed the previous web developer did. Should I have used them or is it not needed anymore as browsers have changed? Is it may be needed for software used by the visually impaired? Examples of where she used it: New Zealand - I just used New Zealand “ and ” - where I just used " " Any help would be much appreciated! How can I limit the number of characters that will be shown from a field of a DDBB on a td ? Thanks, Ignacio Francisco Penin What is the most simple code that trims text past x characters? I dont need a ...more link or anything, just the trim. Hi, I try to display my string "as is" in HTML page. I know the solution is escape characters. I know I can use a couple of pairs, like this Code: strResult = ReplaceCharacters(strSource, chr(38), "&")
strResult = ReplaceCharacters(strSource, chr(60), "<")
strResult = ReplaceCharacters(strSource, chr(62), ">")
strResult = ReplaceCharacters(strSource, chr(10), "<br />")
strResult = ReplaceCharacters(strSource, chr(34), """)
strResult = ReplaceCharacters(strSource, chr(160), " ")
which should be pretty easy to understand, just replaces characters with HTML escape characters. How about replacing a tab (chr(11)) with HTML code? Is there any escape character for that? Is there some others that I should add to my code? I am reading this: Quote: Another important special character you should know about is the & character. If you'd like to have an & in your html content, use the character entity & instead of the & character itself. I don't understand the entire paragraph above, can any give an example of the above or explain in another way please? Hi, I am currently doing some work on our companies website. As part of this we want to add product codes to keywords to improve rankings in Google, however most of our codes include a forward slash (/), e.g. CC/250S. Does anyone know if the forward slash is a valid symbol in the keywords field, or would this make cause problems in the code? I know all the easy ones like hearts and spades, but i want to do the really cool ones like crowns and clouds for myspace. This site has them: http://www.bigbaer.com/sidebars/entities/ but it only has the numbers and i need the words [ex. it has &1321442; instead of &blahh; ]. And myspace only accepts the word codes so can anyone either tell me how to convert the numbers into letters or give me some help on this?! -The actualy characters i want are stars and crowns My page is trying to set some cookies with semi-colons in some of the values, but (in Firefox) they are not being saved correctly - the saved values are being truncated at the semi-colon... (So, for example, instead of saving the value "name;age;" in the cookie, only "name" is being being saved. Presumably, you aren't allowed semi-colons in cookie values? Does anyone know what other characters are not allowed? Thanks, James I recently transferred my blog from 1and1 to hostgator, and all my apostrophes have been replaced with � How can this be fixed? Hi All, I have a really irritating problem. I have written some code in HTML, and bits of it use the left square bracket, ( [ ). When I paste it into an online web editor, and upload I go to the site and the code does not work properly. I look at the source code and the web editor automatically changed the left square bracket to the HTML escape character equivalent [. Is there something I can put in the code to stop this from happening? I have no control over the web editor and even if I go into the web editor and replace [ with [, upload and refresh the same issue happens! |
