What are these characters (�pret�) and how do I fix this? - character

I just don't know where I'm supposed to ask this, I don't know much about computers, feel free to direct me to the right forum, I searched for this but could not find out where to post.
Anyhow, I was doing search and came across this website:
http://tonioc.free.fr/dico/dico.txt
I was using Firefox. How do I fix this, use a different browser or is there an addon or something?
Thank you for your help

Check this site: http://apps.timwhitlock.info/unicode/inspect?s=%EF%BF%BD
This question mark character is a replacement character. Meaning that the website you are visiting is either using characters not supported by the font itself of the browser does not understand them. I tried with chrome and didn't get any result too. The characters are unknown.

You have to change the character encoding to Occident (windows-1252). There is an option inside Firefox.

AppJS does not show Unicode characters

I have a situation where I want to open a website by clicking a desktop icon. I found AppJS to be the answer. I created an app with just a full window covering iframe. The only problem I am facing is, Unicode characters are not shown properly (all I see is boxes in place of text). I could not understand where should I look for. Please, give me some pointers. or maybe an alternative to fulfill the original purpose.
Thanks in advance

Provide Pattern for Tesseract

I'm using go and tesseract together. I have something like
2^3 or 22^55
And Tesseract is still sometimes wrong with a white list so I'm looking for a way to provide pattern I read through the FaQ and tried the suggested option with the bazaar.
My Pattern file looks like this:
\d\d^\d\d
\d^\d\d
\d^\d
\d^\d\d
But somehow It still doesnt work. Are there any tips to get it working or is the only way to realize this to generate a new language file.
Not a developer so forgive me.
I was looking into a similar issue a while ago and found that the description in the source code is confusing as tesseract by default needs 4+ constant characters in front of the pattern. It even provides examples that would not work under default conditions.
However this is configurable as is described in:
The trie.h code
kSaneNumConcreteChars I am pretty sure was the parameter you are after.
Hope this helps.

How to remove special characters from URL permalinks

I am starting with jekyll and i'll appreciate any kind of help.
I am making a blog site but not in english language.
Default language will be Czech so in post tittles there will be characters like ĚŠČŘŽÝÁÍ.
I want to use pretty permalinks with post tittle in it, but actualy it doesn't work
properly in Safari browser. I am getting error 500 from server.
How to resolve it? Is there any plugin which can convert these characters in ascii symbols escrzyai and how to install it?
I believe permalinks are determined by settings + post file names, not settings + post titles.
So you should have files names like
_posts\2014-04-12-hello-world.md
instead of
_posts\2014-04-12-je-každoročně-tak-veliký.md
Inside the post, you can still use post title in Czech.
Permalinks' documentation is here, note if you have Czech categories and you use them in permalinks, you will still get into trouble, so it's better to avoid Czech categories in permalinks.

Web page rendering incorrectly on mobile Safari and mobile Chrome

I wanted to see if anyone else had ever had an issue with Mobile Safari or Chrome causing web pages to suddenly spit out a ton of garbage.
The issue occurs when I visit the site & refresh multiple times. Suddenly, none of the content renders correctly, but instead looks more like the type of glyphs you'd see in Microsoft Word.
Has anyone ever seen this before and, if so, how did you resolve the problem?
I have seen it on iPhone and Android. On iPhone I suspect its due to the interruption during the page load (getting kCFURLErrorCancelled on the didFailLoadWithError method). Though I am still looking to confirm this issue and still looking for a solution ...
You should check the character set of the HTML page. Bases on your language or the special characters used in the page, you should use the apt charset. You can learn more about charsets here
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_charactersets.asp
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_encodings_in_HTML
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-8
It is really difficult to tell anything from what you have posted. You should check the meta tags of your page. I would suggest you validate the html source and css of the page here .

Joomla 1.5 & Indic Unicode Fonts - How-to?

I am using Inscript Keyboard to directly type into TinyMCE. However when I click on save, all the characters appear as question marks on website and even in article list on admin side.
How I should solve the problem?
I am specifically talking about Marathi but the problem-solution might be same for all Devnagrari fonts.
Thanks in advance.
