GingerRobot Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 You're missing a double quote when you define the charset: change: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> to: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset="utf-8" /> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/79142-symbols/#findComment-400586 Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebadbad Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 You're missing a double quote when you define the charset: change: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> to: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset="utf-8" /> That's absolutely wrong. The content attribute should contain text/html; charset=utf-8. But I guess you know, an just overlooked it Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/79142-symbols/#findComment-402197 Share on other sites More sharing options...
