sKunKbad Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 I'm trying to set up a basic HTML document for Spanish, and I want it to have perfectly valid code. Do I have to use HTML character codes for all of the accented characters, or is there a better way? This is what I have: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html lang="es" xml:lang="es" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="application/xhtml+xml; charset=utf-8" /> <meta name="language" content="es" /> <title>Espanol</title> </head> <body> <p>¿Hemos mencionado que tenemos buenos precios? Nuestro servicio de césped dos veces por semana comienza tan bajo como $ 55.00 al mes para la siega y recorte de bordes de base. Malezas de tracción, la fumigación de malezas, la fertilización y servicios de jardinería están también disponibles.</p> </body> </html> but the accented characters show up as question marks inside diamonds. I thought if I used utf-8 then it was supposed to be good, but I don't know. Please help a English speaking guy understand! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haku Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Make sure the document itself is saved as UTF-8. If the document encoding doesn't match the charset and you use non-ASCII characters, you end up with the problem you are having. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
