javascript - Weird characters are outputted using UTF-8
Answer
Answer
I am using code igniter framework and added the header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8"); in server side as well as the < meta charset="UTF-8">,
< meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> in client side code.
When I type a french character with accent as input it keeps saving as weird characters like copyright symbol and weird A's. Im using javascript to encode the input and it encodes correctly into & #224; etc. but when I try decoding it with innerHTML it doesnt output the correct characters.
Answer
Thanks for your answers I found the issue, it was because I was not passing 'UTF-8' as a parameter while calling htmlentities() in php code. there was no need for me to try to encode it in javascript.
