Question

I referenced this website: http://biega.com/special-char.html to aid me in adding special characters in my XML. But to no avail.

Here is what I am doing:

In my XML I have attempted to add special characters like such:

<inc_1c>
<Url>http://www.google.com</Url>
<Title>This is some content &#187;</Title>
</inc_1c>

When I go to the browser it displays a broken special char symbol: �.

Initially I tried:

<Title>This is some content &raquo;</Title>

No dice. Anyone have any suggestions?

**Update: I should probably mention, this XML file is working with an XSL file for styles… Then its being pulled into an .ASPX page and displayed there.

Answer 1

Consider adding / adjusting the <meta charset="">, either <meta charset="ISO-8859"> or <meta charset="utf-8">
