When trying to copy paste some Chinese characters in a HTML file open in Dreamweaver I see that its being represented as boxes. When I view the pave on a browser I can see the characters correctly so its just in Dreameaver that they don't show up.
I read some posts on S.O. about utf-8 and saving with BOM disabled.I have even included Chinese on my keyboard with no luck.
edit. I tried editing the Fonts in Edit>Preferences to Chinese but when I click OK and I go back to it it shows Unicode again.
I could just copy and paste everything and it will work but it would be easier if I can see the different characters so when I need to hyperlink some word or include it in a tag I dont have to count boxes and view on the browser to figure it out.
I found out what was the problem. It was an encoding issue on Dreamweaver.
Went to Modify>Page Properties>Title/Encoding and changed the encoding to Chinese.
The Unicode showed up boxes in Dreamweaver.
However if you have already text copied in then they might not turn to the actual characters correctly so you have to re-enter them or if you didn't enter anything text yet its ok.

I have a markdown written in Chinese. my local file seems fine but there are some � characters in it when I upload it to GitHub. see the following pics
The "� " character is a placeholder in unicode for characters it does not recognize.
Your copy of visual studio is using a font that contains those characters, so it does not have the placeholder. Your browser is using a font that does not contain those characters, so the placeholder gets displayed.
To fix this, you should select a font for your browser that has those characters, such as the one your copy of Visual Studio is using.
all right,figure it out.
I Inserted some control characters by mistake and the vs-code hided control characters by default.
just press cmd+shift+p to toggle control characters.then delete the control characters.
I just have updated my PhpStorm to version 2016.1 and I have a really strange issue in editor, as you can see in the screenshot, some characters are screwed up.
When I copy/paste the text it is displayed correctly (the text before the require is "dojo"), I have tried changing the file encoding but without success (the file is UTF-8)
Someone already had this problem ? It is kind of annoying. See below my file encoding.
The problem don't seem to be the font (as suggested in comments) because italic is rendered:
It's not a problem with encoding .. but issue with your font. If you look at the screen -- only italic (or italic+bold) text has such problem.
How to check it:
If you select the text and copy-paste it into another editor (e.g. Notepad++ if you are on Windows) .. or even here into the actual Question -- will it copy that mangled text fine (I mean -- will it read "dojo" when pasted)?
Will it display it fine if you try another standard color schema -- e.g. "Default" or "Darcula"?
The issue can be with actual font (corrupted font files; somehow incomplete font data etc) .. or maybe even the with the way how IDE uses/renders it (e.g. font may not have separate "bold italic" style so IDE tries to mimic it and fails).
Either fix your font (re-download and reinstall; look for newer version maybe)
.. or use another font
.. or do not use italic (bold+italic) style
I have a .xml file containing some text. The text also has some German charcters (ä, ü, ö) in it.
The XML file is encoded as UTF-8, wich makes it appear fine in every text editor and xcode.
But when showing the text on a Cocos2D CCLabelTTF (iPhone/iPad), the special characters get messed up. They are replaced by one or two ugly characters I have never seen before ;-)
Should I use a different encoding? Or is there a way to make Cocos2D get that right?
BTW: If I enter the same text directly into xcode (without using the xml file), the text shows up correctly on the label...
I want to make a fallback for my icon font. For example, for my beautiful icon font check mark I use Unicode check mark equivalent:
.icon-checkmark {
&:before {
content: "\2713"; /* Unicode Character 'CHECK MARK' (U+2713) */
}
}
My icon font has character with code "\2713" also. If my icon font fails to load, user will see Unicode check mark; if icon font loads successfully, user will see icon font's beautiful check mark.
I'm searching for Unicode character equivalents for «email», «save» and «print» entities. Are there any or similar in Unicode tables? I have searched on http://www.fileformat.info/ but with no luck.
(I have found only an «email» character — http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/1f4e7/browsertest.htm, but it does not work in Chrome 28 (it works in all other browsers however :).
Here's some ideas. I have not tested them on any browsers except Firefox on Linux.
Email: ✉, Unlikely:
Print: ⎙
Save: ↓, ▼
Edit: 💾 \U0001f4be could be used for saving since Unicode 6.x
I was also looking for save (floppy disk) symbol.
💾 symbol (mentioned in #Dark Falcon answer) is colored and not adjustable with its adjacent text colors.
I finally got 🖫 from graphemica.com
We can adjust it in any color by CSS color property.
🖫 white hard shell floppy disk for save (U+1F5AB)
✉ print screen symbol (U+2399)
⎙ envelope for email (U+2709)
Your question is actually two-fold: which Unicode code-points are useful for your purpose, and which Unicode code-points are covered with common font installations.
And it raises a new question: why do some programs (Chrome on Windows?) not show correct glyphs where other programs can?
Regarding the first two questions: as you can see, these days some really useful symbols just don't work on many systems out of the box.
Regarding the last question: I have no idea, but some insights on Linux:
Many programs (including Chrome) end up using fontconfig via one way or another. That library is responsible to find the fonts useful to display certain "text". At a higher level, the rendering is done with a mix of fonts, because for more challenging (web page) text there will always be a situation where one font won't cover everything there to display. Might the reason be that another style is requested or a code point is not covered.
So if Chrome on Linux does not show one thing or another, install fonts which have those glyphs (in a way that integrates well with fontconfig-configuration).
I have no idea what drives font-mixing on Windows.
I tried to change the encoding of ANSI files (àìà ìùîåø) to UTF8.
I was manage to do that in the pass.
Now when i try to do the same thing, the encoding setting is changing but the weird character does not change and does not seems to get any effect.
I have tried with any good editors like notepad++ notepad2 notepad3 with no success.
I think that the problem is in my machine.
What could it be?
Thanks!
If you have Microsoft Office 2003 open Word copy the text and select it then go to tools -> fix broken text and choose your language. this will convert the text back to its original state
