Hi all,

when i insert such data like below....the cf displays “ as square box on the page... is there a way to eliminate this issue??

“I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves,” Woods said on his Web site. “I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect. I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family. Those feelings should be shared by us alone.”

That is a character encoding issue.

Those are 'fancy' or 'curly' quotation marks that are not part of the basic ASCII character set, but rather part of some extended, most likely Microsoft, charater set.

You can instruct ColdFusion and the browser to properly display the desired character set so these characters are not little boxes or you can train users to not use fancy Microsoft charaters in web content, but I have always found this latter choice to be a losing battle.
