Strange xml/html accent issue
- by Ayrad
I have an XML file that contains a message with html tags in it. The XML file is read by a java class that mails it to people. When the mail is received, the accents do not show. For example é doesn't show.
I have tried é in the xml but it gives an error in eclipse saying that the entity has not been declared.
I also tried simply inserting é but that shows nothing in the final output.
The 3rd thing I tried was using <![CDATA[é]]> but that broke the parser since it didn't output anything after it.
However I noticed something weird. When i put something like this in the xml and added UTF-16 encoding
<message>text bla bla blaa é<
it did ouput the é at the end like this bla bla blaa blaa é.
EDIT
<message>text bla bla blaa éé< outputs ?é or just one é
The file looks something like this:
<?xml version="1.0"? encoding="UTF-16">
<message>
<b>hello é </b>
</message>
</xml>
What gives?
