UTF-8 and Incorrect Display

[random1]

Hi All,

 

I've set up my site with UTF-8 but occasionally when I view the site I have incorrect characters appearing like:

 

 

In the above example the left is arabic characters and the right is korean.

 

The browser I'm using is Firefox.

 

Any ideas?

quite few, but to lithe explanation

 

jokes aside. i had teh same problem to for some time. you probably made one of the files which contain your php code in a difrent code than the encoding you are giving in the header of your html.... you will have quite a mess to corect it.

 

go to all files and save them in the utf or what ever encoding you are using.

Found it! In my code all page output is from a buffer that is UTF-8.

 

I changed part of my code from:

 

	// Encode HTML to UTF-8
	if($htmlencode == true)
	{
		// HTML is not UTF-8 Encoded
		if(mb_detect_encoding($buffer) != 'UTF-8' || 
			mb_detect_encoding($buffer) != 'UTF8')
		{
			// Enforce UTF-8 Encoding
			$buffer = utf8_encode($buffer);
		}
	}

 

to:

 

	// Encode HTML to UTF-8
	if($htmlencode == true)
	{
		// HTML is not UTF-8 Encoded
		if(mb_detect_encoding($buffer) != 'UTF-8')
		{
			// Enforce UTF-8 Encoding
			$buffer = utf8_encode($buffer);
		}
	}

 

Thanks for replying
