I get HTML from a webpage that is in german language, i have to insert its html in database, but when I insert it in database the german letters does not appear coorectly.
E.g. Bundesstraße appears as Bundesstraße. I am using C# and MYsql database.
It seems like special characters are encoded as html entities (http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_entities.asp) on the website. When using UTF8 this isn’t necessary, but many sites still do it.
If you want to have the exact html as it is on the website these encoded entities are correct.
To decode the entities you can use
System.Net.WebUtility.HtmlDecode(yourString).
