What Did I Screw Up Here? [Unicode Character Display]

Post by SlidingHorn »

So I've set up an s9y blog, taken Carl's theme, and made some adjustments. I've got another header bar and the footer to work on still but you can see it so far at http://www.ryblog.com

Here's my problem:

I did my work on the template on a sandbox blog at sandbox.ryblog.com. As you may have noticed from the first article, there is a particular unicode character (u+0243 - Latin capital B with stroke - I haven't tried others) that shows perfectly in the sandbox, but doesn't seem to want to display on the live version of the site.

From everything I can see, the related definitions throughout are identical. The tables are also encoded the same.

Code: Select all

Can anyone figure out why these two sites display differently?

With the exception of the login plugin on the sandbox, all other plugins and event plugins are the same, with the same settings. Configuration section is set to use utf8 on both blogs. I'm tired, and dumb, and at a loss - any help would be appreciated :)

Re: What Did I Screw Up Here? [Unicode Character Display]

Post by Timbalu »

Your source says:

Code: Select all

While holding Ctrl + Shift, type "u0243" (without quotes) and release Ctrl + Shift.  That particular code yields a Bitcoin symbol:  <font="Sans-Serif">?</font><br />
Perhaps you need to change to another font http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode ... upport.htm

OR just use <big>Ƀ</big>

OR use &#x243; instead!

OR the libraries for Unicode support are different...?

Hi!

How exactly to you synchronize your test and live blog? It could be that if you use mysqldump, it uses UTF-8 charset by default, but by uploading it to your webspace, the default character set might be latin or another one, and you would need to send "SET NAMES utf8" to the server first...?
