special-characters

I'm trying to obfuscate some javascript by altering their character codes, but I've found that I can't correctly print characters outside of a certain range, in Python 2.7. For example, here's what I'm trying to do: f = open('text.txt','w') f.write(unichr(510).encode('utf-8')) f.close() I can't write unichr(510) because it says the ascii codec is out of range. So I encode it with utf-8. This turns a single character u'\u01fe' into two '\xc7\xbe' . Now, in javascript, it's easy to get the symbol for the character code 510: String.fromCharCode(510) Gives the single character: Ǿ What I'm getting

I'm working with some text in python, it's already in unicode format internally but I would like to get rid of some special characters and replace them with more standard versions. I currently have a line that looks like this, but it's getting ever more complex and I see it will eventually bring more trouble. tmp = infile.lower().replace(u"\u2018", "'").replace(u"\u2019", "'").replace(u"\u2013", "").replace(u"\u2026", "") for example the u\2018 and \u2019 are left and right single quotes. Those are somewhat acceptable but for this type of text processing I don't think they are needed. Things

I'm making a website that is in Croatian, and I need to use signs like: "č", "ć", "ž", "đ" and "š". They are currently displayed as little boxes. Info: I use Notepad ++. I set the encoding there to UTF-8. I put the following line of HTML in: <meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> However, it does not work. Even Notepad ++ can't display my characters using UTF-8, so that would suggest that I should probably use something else... http://webdesign.maratz.com/lab/utf_table/ Use HTML entities, for example č : č ž : ž This sounds more like a font issue than a character

In PHP I would use this: $text = "Je prends une thé chaud, s'il vous plaît"; $search = array('é','î','è'); // etc. $replace = array('e','i','e'); // etc. $text = str_replace($search, $replace, $text); But the Java String method "replace" doesn't seem to accept arrays as input. Is there a way to do this (without having to resort to a for loop to go through the array)? Please say if there's a more elegant way than the method I'm attempting. A really nice way to do it is using the replaceEach() method from the StringUtils class in Apache Commons Lang 2.4. String text = "Je prends une thé chaud, s

I am using this currently, but it doesn't seem to be working for bullets: function sanitizeMySQL($var){ $var = mysql_real_escape_string($var); $var = sanitizeString($var); return $var; } function sanitizeString($var) { $var = str_replace('•','•', $var); $var = htmlentities($var); $var = strip_tags($var); return $var; } This is what bullets show up like in my db after someone has submitted them through a textarea: • EDIT: This is now what I am getting: • . I do have bullets stored in my db, so I know it allows them. Is there a correct way to store bullets in latin-1 encoding? The data
