Hi,

In one of our report we face this issue, like it is displaying the "Â" before £, Trademark and Registered symbols.

I tried setting the encoding as "UTF-8" using <cfprocessingdirective> , <cfcontent> and SetEncoding() functions.. But none of them were worked.

Can any one shed some light here?

    first off, please don't use NCR. use the actual char.

    most likely your encodings (cf page vs cf server) aren't matching.

    what do you mean by "report"? cfreport?  where are these chars coming from? statict text? db?

    Hi Paul,

    Thanks for the tip.

    In server where can I set the encoding setting?. I saw one under the "CFMail settings" in Admin.

    Ours is a simple html report served by VB Dll (which actually comes from Mainframes).

    any chance i can see an example and/or the cf code?

    i don't recall much, if anything, about VB. unless you've messed up the cf, i'd

    have to call shenanigans on it for either messing up the output HTML encoding or

    sticking in badly encoded symbols in the output.


    Hi Paul,

    We figured it out. The issue was actually with the VB Code in parsing the quoted printable value.

    Now it is resolved.

    Appreciate your time and help!.
