Problem with special characters

[smejko]

Hi,

we are developing a calendar extension, which consists of a component and module. While all characters display perfectly in the module, some special characters in a component are causing problems. For example, the component doesn't display characters Š (instead it displays Š ) and " (instead it displays &" ). Do you have any idea, what could be the problem? Probably it must be something quite small and obvious, but we are at to moment so into the thing, that we have obviously overlooked something.

Thanks in advance for your ideas!

Hi, this means, the characters are displayed in html special entities. Mostly browser transform them to normal text, e.g.:

Š --> Š

Check if your output is set in html (not e.g. in other part like javscript, etc.) Check if the extension does not somehow change the output, try to find this function inside the extension: htmlentities()

Check if your output is in UTF-8 :idea:

Thanks a lot for idea!
Indeed we had a htmlentities() function in our component. We have replaced it with a html_entity_decode() and it seems to be working as intended now.
