utf-8 special characters not displaying
This issue is likely caused by a mismatch between the character encoding used by the source of the text (e.g. a website or text file) and the character encoding used by the program or device displaying the text. UTF-8 is a commonly used character encoding that can represent a wide range of special characters, but if the source text is using a different encoding (e.g. ISO-8859-1 or Windows-1252) the special characters may not display correctly.
To fix this issue, you can try the following:
- Ensure that the source text is saved in UTF-8 encoding.
- Set the character encoding to UTF-8 in the program or device displaying the text.
- Try using a different program or device to display the text.
- Try converting the text to UTF-8 using a tool like iconv.
It's also possible that the problem is not with the encoding of the text itself, but with the font being used to display it. Some fonts have limited support for special characters, so try using a different font.
