jasonc Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I have had a few people complain to me about the pound (£) sign not showing up correctly in their browsers. What method or code should I be using to make sure that everyone sees the same results no matter what browsers they use ?

jasonc Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 This is what is being displayed in Firefox £12.00 how do i get the page to show the pound sign and not the characters before without cropping them off. this also shows in the email client, WLM as £12.00 Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/238238-what-is-the-best-way-to-guarentee-that-the-pound-sign-shows-in-all-browsers/#findComment-1224713 Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjoe Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I think you need to get more info from the users about what browser version they are using. You'll need to recreate this one to troubleshoot it. I just confirmed £ render correctly on Google Chrome 11, Firefox 3.6.17, IE8, Safari 5.0.2 on Windows 7 and Firefox 3.6.16, Chromium 10 on Ubuntu.

jasonc Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 yes using the £ seems to have fixed the browser issue, but for some reason i am still getting myself and everyone else the strange characters before the £ in the emails that are sent out with the prices. Both webmail via Hoard mail using firefox and IE and also in WLM £12.00 Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/238238-what-is-the-best-way-to-guarentee-that-the-pound-sign-shows-in-all-browsers/#findComment-1224839 Share on other sites More sharing options...
