Paragraph Symbols

[CaptainBob007]

Hello,

I'm working on a system to parse XML files we receive from a client and transform them to HTML. One of the characters contained in this XML file is the "paragraph" symbol, which I will show: ¶

The file is standard XML 1.0 in UTF-8. I can't figure out for the life of me how to get C# to parse this symbol. I tried entering it literally, such as

string.IndexOf('¶')

and also in unicode, like

string.IndexOf('u\00B6')

both of which have been to no avail. Is there something I'm missing here?

 

[CaptainBob007]

My apologies, for the unicode part I meant

string.IndexOf('\u00B6')

string.IndexOf('&#00B6;');

Maybe?

 

[CaptainBob007]

Unfortunately that just throws an error

 

[JurkMonkey]

try double quotes "&#00B6"

What does the actual xml look like?

here's a small excerpt:

The paragraph symbols all occur within a single xml node, and simply denote paragraphs within that section of the document. I'm trying to parse the location of them so I can replace them with <p> tags instead.

Does this help you any? There's unicode values for the Paragraph Separator character
