Charset UTF-8 not working (stuck with these? -Markes)

I have a problem with Unicode ... I have done this before, but for now, I can’t understand why Icelandic letters do not appear - I have these question marks again

Here is the url (very simple and short html5) http://nicejob.is/new/

All I say to Google: use <meta charset="utf-8"> , just like me.

Any suggestions?

Your page is already viewed as UTF-8. But the source code is not saved as UTF-8.

Change the encoding of the source file to UTF-8.

Not all browsers support HTML5-way tags yet

here you can see the compatibility table

Try this instead:

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

I see a couple of problems.

  • META should look like this:

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

  • <html> specified lang="en" , which may be confusing for some browsers.

When I view HTML from a browser, question marks are encoded as 0xEF 0xBF 0xBD, which is UTF-8 encoded for byte order character or specification, as well as U + FEFF. Thus, for some reason, HTML is not passed as reasonable UTF-8 (although it is indeed valid UTF-8).

What you need to do is save the file using utf-8 encoding using Notepad (connected to Windows).

Steps:

  • Save as..

  • In the options below ... you will find the encoding option, select UTF-8 ...

  • And save the file ...

  • Then add the line <meta charset="UTF-8" /> inside your file ...

And he will work.

Perhaps you are using some kind of text editor, such as Notepad ++, and you did not configure the encoding in UTF-8 in this text editor .
