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

I have actually spent a lot of time looking for a solution for this. Stackoverflow is my last resort. Before I dive in I would like to describe my requirements.
My requirements,
I need an editor like slack that automatically converts markdown to relevant TextStyle or html. For example if I type, ## Hello and press enter. it is styled as H2 styled text.
Moreover, I also need to show a dropdown whenever I press # or # to select from a list of options.
In short, I need something like quip, slite or medium.
I was hoping that this will be easy in flutter, given half of these features are already there in Google's Gmail and other apps by google by havent yet found a single library that meets these requirements.
What I have already tried?
Quil: I found out by flutter_quill but for that I have to stick to a toolbar on the top. And no mentions support.
Zefyr and html_editor: I have tried these, but they are very buggy and slow. Moreover, they have very limited documentations.
Custom Flutter: Medium-like Text Editor. This is the most promising solution but it is lacking one essential feature of text editor. The article proposes that I divide the entire input field into multiple text fields which I can control using state. But this has one big problem that is, what if I want to select the entire body of text. Any hacks on this will be well appreciated.
If you have any questions and if the question isn't clear enough, please free to comment down below.
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:

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

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.
Is it possible to get the page number and line number of particular text from doc/rtf/pdf in iPhone sdk?
Can QLPreviewController or UIDocumentInteractionController be of any help?
EDIT:
I am trying to create something like iAnnotate,Sente. Application where in user will be able to select some text and can add comments for selected text.
I have gone through the fastpdfkit api's which seems the only api which can be of some help.
Can you guys guide me in the right direction.

Go with this link, it will help you for PDF reader and you can see there how I am doing total page and current page.
If you're looking at doing this with PDF, RTF and DOC it might be best to approach it in a different way as they are all very different formats.
Instead - if you consider attaching comments to an area of the page as opposed to a specific text selection then all you need to know about the document is which page you're looking at. A much easier task. Then you get the user to 'drag out' a comments box for an area of that page. Think of them more like sticky-notes.
This way you can add comments to images as well as text and it allows a much more flexible system for support of other file formats in the future.
I realise this isn't I direct answer to the question, but thought it relevant enough to post.
I am working on a small app, which can open a pdf. My question is, if it is possible to access a hyperlink from a pdf? Because when am trying to click on hyperlink nothing is happening and it's not redirecting me to the link. I tried searching a lot but didn't got any luck on this. Am expecting a quick response as my work is getting delayed because of this issue. If it's possible then what would be the approach? Right now am using UIWebView to open the pdf. Any sample app or code will be of great help.
Thanks for your time .
The only way I know is to use a third party library (or perhaps parse the PDF yourself), find the links, get their rects and catch user taps and compare that to the list of link/hyperlinks/gotos for that particular page.
Unfortunatelly - nothing in the SDK that can help. You can search for a opensource pdf library, like muPDF for instance.
There is a reason why not many applications have that functionality :D
I need to perform search in an html page displayed in a UIWebView control. The functionality I need is something that Safari has, when you hit command/ctrl F for searching the document for some word and the program highlights the hits for you. Is there any easy solution for this problem?
I know it's been a long time since you asked this question, but it's still a pretty common question people have so I put together a sample project in case anyone else is asking the same question. The project is a super simple app that loads an HTML file and can search and highlight any keyword. You can download the sample project here:

You could do this with javascript. Check out the "Find in this page" bookmarklet:

Something like that, combined with:
http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/uikit/reference/UIWebView_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/occ/instm/UIWebView/stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:
might do the trick.
