Hello fellow Bubblers – looking for a fix that I can’t seem to find alone.
Apostrophes (like ‘’ and “”) and a few other characters are not rendering correctly when displayed on my live site. I’m assuming this is a character encoding issue, but I’m not positive. I’ve tried both UTF-8 and UTF-16 in a header meta charset tag and neither fix the issue.
The first apostrophe, for example, always displays the wrong direction (you’ll see multiple examples on the trending feed: Top Trending News Worldwide | Want.News). I’ve attached a screenshot which also shows the issue. What’s really weird is that occasionally the characters will display correctly in a cell, but almost always display incorrectly (i.e. the wrong direction).
If it matters, I currently have <meta charset="UTF-8">
in my site’s header.
Eagerly awaiting the first fix
