special-characters

This question already has answers here : Closed 6 years ago . PHP: Replace umlauts with closest 7-bit ASCII equivalent in an UTF-8 string (7 answers) i am looking for a method or maybe a conversion table that knows how to convert Umlauts and special characters to their most likely representation in ascii. Example: Ärger = aerger Bôhme = bohme Søren = soeren pjérà = pjera Anyone any idea? Update : Apart from the good accepted Answer, i also found PECLs Normalizer to be quite interesting, though i can not use it due to the server not having it and not being changed for me. Also do check out this

I am using the CLion IDE and I am trying to do a carriage return. I am doing a print statement in C and have the following syntax: printf("\rHello World!"); which is inside a loop. The loop still prints every Hello World on its own line. There are no \n 's in my program. I've tried changing the line separators options to unix mac OS and windows and none of them change the functionality. Google has also led me to no useful answers. int main() { int i = 0; while (i < 5000000) { printf("\rThis is line number %d!", i++); } return 0; } My expected output is only a single line of text in the console

I feel silly for asking this but it isn't like I could google this. What is the ` character called? In case it doesnt show up, it is the character used for inline code with markdown. Also, on most keyboards, it shares the key with ~ . I like all three answers so I made this a CW instead of accepting All sorts of things, but in programming mostly the back-quote or backtick, Grave (pronounced Grahv, not like the synonym for tomb) or Grave accent . From the Jargon file , the prime nerd reference which really should be an ISO standard :-) Common : backquote; left quote; left single quote; open

I need to use a GET request to send JSON to my server via a JavaScript client, so I started echoing responses back to make sure nothing is lost in translation. There doesn't seem to be a problem with normal text, but as soon as I include a Unicode character of any sort (e.g. "ç") the character is encoded somehow (e.g. "\u00e7") and the return value is different from request value. My primary concern is that, A) In my Python code saves what the client intended on sending to the database correctly, and B) I echo the same values back to the client that were sent (when testing). Perhaps this means

So I'm building a website that is using a database feed that was already set up and has been used by the client for all their other websites for quite some time. They fill this database through an external program, and I have no way to change the way I get my data. Now I have the following problem, sometimes I get strings in UTF-8 and sometimes in ASCII (I hope I've got these terms right, they're still a bit vague to me sometimes). So I could get either this: Scénic or Scénic . Now the problem is, I have to convert this to non-special characters (so it would become Scenic ) for urls. I don't

I have a simple form where I can type some characters. These characters are sent to a servlet which does a getBytes and print the bytes. The correct UTF-8 bytes for a "ã" are -61 and -93, but I get -52 and -93. :( I tried everything to understand and fix this, but nothing worked. Everything on my machine should be UTF-8 so I suspect it has to do with the US International keyboard I have been using for 20 years. Does any smart soul have a clue from where -52 and -93 are coming from? FIXED on Jetty: See my answer below. BROKEN on Tomcat: How to get tomcat to understand MacRoman (x-mac-roman)

I am developing a native app which consists of some mathematical formulas. Formulas will be like......... I want to display such formulas in my application, but i don't how to use these special characters in Android. I want to display each formula individually in a list view...... If i am copying formula & if i am setting text to text view means it is showing like txtv.setText("\\cos^2\\theta + \\sin^2\\theta = 1\\! "); and getting output in the same pattern. So, can anyone help me how to use these mathematical special characters in Android.. Sorry, there are not a lot of different solutions..

Using this rtf class , I see my special characters getting converted, like é becomes \'C3\'A9 (that part is probably not the problem) Once I get it in rtf using php header, the resulting character (é) is seen as é . header("Content-type: application/rtf; charset=utf-8"); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$file_rtf"); header("Expires: 0"); header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0"); header("Cache-Control: private",false); Strange! My file is saved in utf-8, for information. I had a similar problem while getting excel, but that is solved using $text = mb
