Strange characters on page

[Silvestro]

Hello,

I'm using cf9, and I'm having characters like è instead of è, or ò instead of ò. Page meta is utf-8, and browser encoding too... no setting whatever in application.cfc

Thanks

encoding has gone wrong someplace along the way. where is the text data coming from?

[Silvestro]

It is just on a static page.

then try adding to the top of that

page.

if it's still mojibake, then whatever you're using to edit the page isn't

producing utf-8 encoded text.

Sorry I'm missing part of the answer, 'try adding [...] to the top' ?

and you couldn't guess

sorry, keep forgetting about these forums mangling email replies.

the tag:

cfprocessingDirective pageEncoding="utf-8"

btw what are you using to edit the cf pages?

I've put your suggested code, but at no avail...

I'm using Dreamweaver 8...

then DW's not actually adding utf-8 encoded text. either change the encoding

settings in DW (i have no idea how) or change your web page's encoding (html

header, cfprocessingDirective, etc.) to iso-8859-1 (guessing that's what DW's

using).
