Replacing £ sign with £ when page gets loaded through JQuery

Question

I have a problem with the £ sign. When the page is loaded it adds an additional character and appears like this: £, I want to write Jquery from which I can replace this character with £ for the entire page.

I am using the utf-8 charset, so that's not where the problem is.

Answer 1

My suggestion is that you should double check the encoding.

Using UTF-8 as a character encoding does not ensure by itself things are right.

For example, sending UTF-8 which is then decoded as if it were ISO-8859-15 would explain such a problem.

Verify all the data sources, you might have one in an unexpected encoding. I agree with cms, do not use text replace to delete this, fix the problem at its source.

You can play with iconv to see how your data looks when converted from and to different encodings.

UPDATE: I see your page perfectly, so maybe it's your browser decoding the characters wrongly, check the character encoding settings on your browser

Answer 2

To me, looks like a UTF-8 character being shown in an ISO-8859-1 charset.

I wouldn't recommend you to do text replacements on your page, since all the text nodes have to be traversed and inspected.

I recommend you to re check your encoding, and maybe you could use '£' rather than '£'.

Hi,

I have resolved this issue with web.config

I have add below entry in my web.config

<globalization requestEncoding="utf-8" responseEncoding="utf-8" fileEncoding="utf-8" culture="en-GB"  uiCulture ="en-GB" />

Cheers!

Thanks for your support
