As you know the string is coming in as Encoding.Default you could simply use: byte[] bytes = Encoding.Default.GetBytes(myString); myString = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(bytes); Another thing you may have to remember: If you are using Console.WriteLine to output some strings, then you should also write Console.OutputEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;!!! Or all utf8 strings will be outputed as gbk…
This is useful in contexts where the encoding is not told per HTTP header or other meta data, e.g. the local file system. Imagine the following stylesheet: [rel=”external”]::after { content: ‘ ↗’; } If a reader saves the file to a hard drive and you omit the @charset rule, most browsers will read it in … Read more
Basically: charset is the set of characters you can use encoding is the way these characters are stored into memory
The decode method of unicode strings really doesn’t have any applications at all (unless you have some non-text data in a unicode string for some reason — see below). It is mainly there for historical reasons, i think. In Python 3 it is completely gone. unicode().decode() will perform an implicit encoding of s using the … Read more
So here’s how to do that: In the bottom bar of VSCode, you’ll see the label UTF-8. Click it. A popup opens. Click Save with encoding. You can now pick a new encoding for that file. Alternatively, you can change the setting globally in Workspace/User settings using the setting “files.encoding”: “utf8”. If using the graphical … Read more
>>> u’aあä’.encode(‘ascii’, ‘ignore’) ‘a’ Decode the string you get back, using either the charset in the the appropriate meta tag in the response or in the Content-Type header, then encode. The method encode(encoding, errors) accepts custom handlers for errors. The default values, besides ignore, are: >>> u’aあä’.encode(‘ascii’, ‘replace’) b’a??’ >>> u’aあä’.encode(‘ascii’, ‘xmlcharrefreplace’) b’aあä’ >>> u’aあä’.encode(‘ascii’, … Read more
The simple answer to the question asked is that the available charset strings vary from platform to platform. However, there are six that are required to be present, so constants could have been made for those long ago. I don’t know why they weren’t. JDK 1.4 did a great thing by introducing the Charset type. … Read more
Yes. Just as the error said, in HTML, attributes are #PCDATA meaning they’re parsed. This means you can use character entities in the attributes. Using & by itself is wrong and if not for lenient browsers and the fact that this is HTML not XHTML, would break the parsing. Just escape it as & and … Read more
I believe the problem is that codecs.BOM_UTF8 is a byte string, not a Unicode string. I suspect the file handler is trying to guess what you really mean based on “I’m meant to be writing Unicode as UTF-8-encoded text, but you’ve given me a byte string!” Try writing the Unicode string for the byte order … Read more
DOMDocument::loadHTML will treat your string as being in ISO-8859-1 (the HTTP/1.1 default character set) unless you tell it otherwise. This results in UTF-8 strings being interpreted incorrectly. If your string doesn’t contain an XML encoding declaration, you can prepend one to cause the string to be treated as UTF-8: $profile=”<p>イリノイ州シカゴにて、アイルランド系の家庭に、9</p>”; $dom = new DOMDocument(); $dom->loadHTML(‘<?xml … Read more
