Question

I read data from an utf8 database then display it in a listview.
but there are words in the database containing è é à á letters when I get the xml manually in the browser it shows up perfect

but in the listview it shows question marks instead

how can I set the character set to utf8 for my listview?
or is there another way around?

Answer 1

You should double check your file encoding on your computer. Does your system use latin-1 (iso-8859-1) or utf-8 ?

Accents can look good in a latin-1 encoded file declaring a xmlns in utf-8 but indeed there not really stored in utf-8.
