simpli Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Hi, In my web page whenever i output french accented characters, they show in firefox as giberrish. for instance: echo '<b>Entrez vos choix pour la première ronde</b>'; will display :'Entrez vos choix pour la premire ronde ' in firefox . I also tested with safari and obtain the following and get the same thing. I'm on a mac, IE not installed so I couldn't test. I haven't given any thought to the internalization of my web site but I'm preparing something for my colleagues and they are mostly frenc. Can you tell me how I can fix this? Thanks for any help or pointers. J-R Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/152544-french-and-accented-characters-showing-as-jiberish/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtopolis Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Have you given the page a character set? http://htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/charset.html http://tlt.its.psu.edu/suggestions/international/bylanguage/french.html#metause You may gave to use the alt codes instead Is the page saved in the proper encoding? (as ANSI or something) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/152544-french-and-accented-characters-showing-as-jiberish/#findComment-801346 Share on other sites More sharing options...
