I recently updated a page I’m working on to work in HTML 5. For some reason when I changed my headers the £ sign that is included on all of the prices is no longer recognised and is showing as a white ‘?’ in a black diamond.
Can anyone explain how to fix this? I have a feeling it has something to do with the <meta charset="utf-8"> line in my head, but could be mistaken.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks!
You need to actually encode your HTML document in UTF-8.
<meta charset="utf-8">tells the browser that the document is supposedly encoded in UTF-8 and that the browser should treat it as such. A UTF-8 replacement character � means an invalid UTF-8 byte sequence was found at that point, which means your document is not actually encoded in UTF-8.
