How to display extended fonts correctly in Firefox? 1

lcs01 · May 9, 2007

Hi, Experts,

I have a simple html file like this:

Code:

<html>
<body>
Search string is: "faßt".
</body>
</html>

When I open this file through Firefox File->Open File, it looks like this:

Search string is: "faÃŸt".

Could someone kindly tell me how to handle this? Many thanks!

If possible use the ASCII code equivelant of that mark. Do a google search for ASCII code chart.

You have to tell the browsers the character set to use :

Code:

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

And if needed, to tell th web server to not send different information in the HTTP header.
