encoding problem

Question

In my web page a hyphen symbol shows up as \–. I don't know how to resolve this problem, can you help me?

Answer 1

Check if <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> is in the head section of your HTML. Also I think you're speaking about a dash, not hyphen because hyphen is plain ASCII, you could also try using — HTML entity instead.
