why "»" shows as a question mark("?") in my page?

Question

Is there any restrictions for it to show normally?

Answer 1

Sounds like an encoding problem. For special characters like that, I prefer to use HTML entities. In this case, try »

Answer 2

You can also use »

Answer 3

After my experience, a question mark usually replaces undecodable special characters when you encode your special characters with utf8, because web browsers by default decode the web page using iso-latin1. You can/should explicitely declare the encoding of your web page using the following directive:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

for xhtml, or

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

(inside the element), for HTML.

Regard this post as a supplement, because I guess that using the xml/html entities like » or » mentioned above are the better way to go.
