Weird îssües
Probably seen that sort of character as well as other characters when pasting from M$ Word or even just save UTF to ascii into a database, then outputting the horrific characters. Well a good way to start is to make sure you specific utf in your html or php header.<?php header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8'); ?> <head> <meta content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" http-equiv="Content-Type"/> <title>...</title> </head>
Im Still Getting Wêïrd Characters
In php you can use str_replace, mix that with double quotes and you can replace any character.<?php // Replace à with str_replace("\xC3\x82", ' ', $string); ?>
Uhhh How did you know \xC3\x82 is Ã.
Well in Ubuntu I can use Applications > Accessories > Character Map and search for Ã. Then clicking on the "Character Details" tab tells me that its "UTF-8: 0xC3 0x82" which is "\xC3\x82". If you dont have ubuntu you can go to Utf8 Chartable. There they show "c3 82" which is "\xC3\x82".
