.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / September 2007Server.HtmlDecode("‘") does not work
I am trying to decode character ‘#; but it is not working. Anybody knows how to decode this character? What to you mean by decode. It's not coded. ‘ is an UTF-8 representation of the symbol. You can use Decoder utf8Decoder = Encoding.UTF8.GetDecoder(); to work with it or convert to Unicode. But you will not fit it into ASCII table.

Anybody > knows how to decode this character? It's not working, because ‘ is not a valid html entity. According to all these sources, there is no html entity for character codes from 127 through 159: http://www.ascii.cl/htmlcodes.htm http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/html-spec/html-spec_13.html http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/sgml/entities.html You can use these htlm entities for quotes: ‘ ‘ left single quote ’ ’ right single quote ‚ ‚ single low-9 quote “ “ left double quote ” ” right double quote „ „ double low-9 quote according to: http://www.webmonkey.com/reference/special_characters/  SignatureGöran Andersson _____ http://www.guffa.com re: !> It's not working, because ‘ is not a valid html entity. Goran, can you explain why the sample at : http://asp.net.do/test/HTMLencode.aspx works if ("‘") isn't valid ? Why would Server.HTMLDecode("‘") be translated to " ' " ? Juan T.
