OT: HTML Special Characters

I often use HTML special characters in place of images. Until now, I've had to search many sites to find the exact character and code desired. This site has them all neatly organized for quick reference. Way cool!

Html special characters

when using the Dreamweaver 'Set Text of Layer' behavior,
Dreamweaver correctly converts all html
special characters, such as accents like � and &,
and quotes and double quotes, so that it is safe
as a javascript string, and will display properly.
I am trying to figure out what PHP function can do the same
encoding, to simple text files (textEdit
on the Mac).
I have tried htmlentities(), but it does not work, accented
letters like � just desappear from the
string.
I have tried htmlspecialchars() and it does not work
either...
I have tried about 10 others functions found on Google but
nothing works.
Anybody knows what exact function Dreamweaver uses to do this
conversion?

Convert HTML special characters to String

Hi,
I'm looking for an easy way to convert HTML special characters (like "&#246") to String.
Any Ideas how implement this? Thanks

Hi,
I'm looking for an easy way to convert HTML special
characters (like "�") to String.
Any Ideas how implement this? Thankswell im assuming that you mean that when you are working with java you will be getting a ? instead of the character you want. assuming that you are reading and writing to this html file. if not well maybe this can stil help : BufferedReader inFile = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(fileName),"ISO8859-1"));
PrintWriter outFile = new PrintWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream(fileName2), "ISO8859-1")); basically you need to make sure that ou define ISO8859-1 as the encoding.

HTML special characters in form input

In my site I store form input in my database. Before I store
the data, I parse out smart quotes, en dashes, and other extended
special characters and convert them into HTHML quivalents such as
’
All is well and good until the user goes to edit their info.
In my form these characters show up in my <input> tags as
their long-winded HTML equivalents, such as ’ instead of
a smart apostrophe.
Is there any way to convert these back to the special
characters from the HTML on the form input text fields so that
users can edit them without being confused?
Thanks.

Hmmm, well I ran the MX 6.1 updater and installed the two hot
fixes that had to do with null pointer exceptions and it still does
not work.
Here is the detailed error I'm getting, if it helps. Any more
ideas? Thanks again for the help, I'm really stuck on this one...
The system has attempted to use an undefined value, which
usually indicates a programming error, either in your code or some
system code.
Null Pointers are another name for undefined values.

HTML Special Characters Encoding

Hi Guys,
I have a problem with pasting contents from MS Word to messagetextinput. The double quotes becomes numbers or ? or different character. The quotes are smart quotes not the straight quotes. For example:
I'll paste "TEST"
Then when i paste it in messagetextinput, it is the same. Then saved it to database and when retrieved, it will display... “Test”...
What can I do to solve this? Any suggestions?
Please help. Thanks!

maeve,
Text copied from Word won't be plain ascii text but the formatted text which contains control characters. You should avoid copy, pasting from text formatters.
I hope that the issue doesn't exist for text typed into the field.

Error in DW5 on Using Insert-HTML-Special Characters-

I'm getting an error which stops the process and reads:
The following JavaScript error(s) occurred: Unable to open the script file "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS5\Configuration\Objects\characters\jrtextformat.js" (error2).
How do I fix this? Thanks.
I'm using a 64-bit windows 7 system, DW version 11 build 4993. If I need to just replace the js file, where do I get it?
Jeff

Hi, already did and they don't work. I have a big project coming up,
will probably uninstall after I finish. Thank you.
Question: exactly which version of Java should I be using? This is a
64-bit system.

Special characters are not displaying in ADF jsp page

Hi All,
By using ADF view controller,I am getting the data from database table but when I display the data in jsp page after special character < what ever the data is there it is not displaced.Provide any suggestions.
Thanks in Advance
Mani

Hi Mani,
< is a special HTML character and obviously it may not me displayed correctly.
Here is a reference of all HTML special characters: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_entities.asp
In your case you can replace < with its special symbol representation - *&#60; or &lt;*
I also advice you to do so for all special HTML characters.
You can use this Java library for that purpose : http://commons.apache.org/lang/api/org/apache/commons/lang3/StringEscapeUtils.html

Special characters and text positioning

Hello Experts,
In Dreamweaver, in inline text, I need to change a TM mark
for a registered trademark symbol (a capital R inside a circle),
and it must be raised above the text baseline -- superscript, I
believe they call it.
I found the Registered symbol in Insert > HTML >
Special Characters. but I can't find a way to raise it above the
baseline.
Can anyone help?
Many thanks for tips.

HTML Editor - converting "special characters" into entities

Hi everyone,
I'm currently in the middle of formatting my wife's novel into 'clean' html so I can use Calibre to create a well formatted epub/mobi/etc.
I've read that TextMate on Mac includes a function to "Convert Selection to Entities excluding Tags". In other words it will replace all special characters (ellipses, copyright sign, etc) with the html entities.
I'm currently using Kate and I can't seem to find anything similar. Is anyone aware of any linux editors with the same function?
Thanks for the help!

ctarwater wrote:Encoding is already UTF-8 but I'm trying to make these docs as "universal" as possible and I've read that little things like replacing quotation marks and other symbols with their html entities is a good step in that direction.
In situations with multiple encodings this might be the case, but the XML spec requires UTF‐8 support at minimum and defaults to it when the encoding is not declared. All XML parsers can deal with UTF‐8.
In fact, replacing UTF‐8 characters with entities is less portable in XML. This is because the available entities are defined by the doctype, and XML only supports five by default (<, >, ", &, and '). Things like … are defined in the HTML and XHTML doctypes, but not in other dialects of XML. This used to bite RSS pretty hard (probably still does), because people assumed the entities were available everywhere when they’re really not. EPUB and Mobi are based on XHTML, but other formats might use other XML dialects.

SSRS and data from SharePoint lists - special characters in HTML

Hi All,
This may not actually fit into this forum, but here goes anyway...
We're using SSRS to report on data stored in Project Server workspaces (so SharePoint lists). Prior to upgrading to 2013, we could pull this data in and set the "Placeholder properties" of the text box to interpret HTML tags as styles and it would
format everything as it appeared in the SharePoint list. Now that we have upgraded to 2013, this works with a few notable exceptions - some special characters are rendered as their escaped/encoded (whatever the term is) - so a colon which is within the text
field in SharePoint, rather than appearing in the SSRS report as ":" appears as ":".
These are multiline, rich text formatted columns in the SharePoint list. Using =Replace(Fields!Description.Value,":",":") in the report makes the appropriate replacement, but given that this occurs with a handful of other special
characters as well, this solution becomes very unruley very quickly. Has anyone else encountered this, or does anyone have any other suggestions for a work around?
If not now, when?

Facing same issue but having no solution, please suggest..

Special Characters in a HTML region

I recently upgraded from HTMLDB 2.0 to APEX 2.2 and I'm having trouble with some special characters. 
 
I have HTML region in which I display a hidden item. The hidden item (P1_TEST) has the following value: 
 
STRING1 STRING2 STRING3 
 
The region source has a single reference to the hidden item: 
 
&P1_TEST. <- the period is there. :) 
 
In HTMLDB 2.0 the display in the HTML region would render the region as 
 
STRING1 
STRING2 
STRING3 
 
In APEX 2.2, the region is rendered as 
 
STRING1 STRING2 STRING3 
 
which is obviously not what I want. 
 
Any ideas anybody? I must be missing something simple. :) 
 
Thanks, Kent

Kent - This is explained here: Re: Computed Region TItles being Escaped in Apex 2.2 You can use an application item instead of a hidden page item as a quick solution. To continue to use a page item you can make its display type Display as Text (does not save state) and set its display condition to Never.
Although this change from 2.0 to 2.2 necessitates this type of inconvenient program modification, the benefit is that a cross-site scripting vulnerability that existed in your application will now be corrected.

Special Characters in imported HTML

I've got a Flash piece where the user fills out a
questionnaire, and based on their responses, they are shown a
handful of recommendations. These recommendations are all separate
HTML files that load into a scrolling text field as HTML text.
There is an English version and a Spanish version. The
English version works fine.
In the Spanish version, on the other hand, we've got special
characters such as accents over e's, tildes over n's, and so forth.
In the HTML, I've used codes for special characters, such as
ñ for ñ. That didn't work. In the resulting
recommendations, this code appears, not the ñ.
Then I tried just putting the special characters into the
HTML, without the special code. That looks fine on my computer (Mac
G5 running Firefox), but on Windows IE instead of the special
characters, we get one of those diamond shapes with a "?" in the
middle of it.
In my recommendations field, I have it set to embed all
characters. The font is Verdana, which should include the special
characters. Does anyone know if the display of special characters
in Flash is possible, and how I would do it?

add <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> tag to 1st
line of your xml, AND
save your xml file encoding as utf-8, if you are using
notepad, try this:
- save as, change the encoding (the bottom field) to UTF-8
no worry about your file extension.
UTF-8 (8-bit Unicode Transformation Format) supports multiple
languages.
good luck

Special characters in java, oracle and html

Hi,
I'm working on a mini content management system and need help with dealing with special characters.
The input are taken from html form which are then stored into a varchar column in oracle database.
When i retrieve the data, some of the special characters have been changed to ??? and also
fields with double quote are modified.
I believe there two issues;
1. dealing with special characters
2. display special characters back in html form textfield after retrieving.
e.g.
This is the line with "quote" saved to database
This is the line with "quote" retrieved from database
This is the line with displayed in html text field.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Maybe you should try this couple of classes: java.net.URLDecoder and java.net.URLEncoder

Hi,
Pass the attachement data to contents_hex instead of contents_bin
See the conversion between the bin and hexa..
CALL FUNCTION 'SO_RAW_TO_RTF'

      objcont_new = lt_objbin.
LOOP AT lt_objbin INTO l_line.
   conv = cl_abap_conv_out_ce=>create( encoding = 'UTF-8' endian = 'B').
    CALL METHOD conv->write( data = l_line ).
    l_buffer = conv->get_buffer( ).
    MOVE l_buffer TO l_hexa.
    MOVE l_hexa TO l_hex-line.
    APPEND l_hex TO lt_contents_hex.
ENDLOOP.

XML Publisher report not printing excel output due to special characters

Hello,
I am trying to create a xml publisher report which should display the output in excel. But the program completes with a warning status and the output is displayed as XML instead of excel, with some errors "An invalid character was found in text content. Error processing resource " and i think these errors are due to the special characters(eg: city/province - A Coruña, Cáceres). If i give rownum < 10 in my query, where there are no such characters it works fine and i am getting an excel output.
Tried changing the XML encoding and it doesn't help (both mentioned below)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
Do anyone have a solution for this
Thanks in advance
