somedude Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Do you have to specify somehow the type of characters your going to be using to have valid markup?If so does anyone know of a good reference page or maybe have an example if it's something small?I have a site that I need to translate into Japanese, Chinese, etc..thanks for any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FirefoxRocks Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 If you encode your page in UTF-8 or UTF-16, the characters should show up fine. The HTML tags and attributes are the same though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried this: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/> and japanese / german characters don't show up. is there something wrong with my code? or is UTF-8 wrong?

Guest FirefoxRocks Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 In addition to telling the browser that the page is encoded in UTF-8, you also have to make sure it is actually UTF-8.If you are using Notepad, when you go to the Save box, make sure encoding is set to UTF-8 not ANSI. If that doesn't work, try Notepad++ or encoding the page in UTF-16 (I don't remember how to do that, maybe it's called Unicode.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
