I removed this special character using string locator but still live on my site.

It's just before my footer are.
Please refer to this answer :
Just use notepad ++ with encoding UTF-8 without BOM.

I'm building a website with Wordpress, but sometimes (I don't know why) the html entities declared in my php files are displayed as a � (a black diamond with a white question mark). My charset attribute is already set to UTF-8 (as shown in the picure below). It could be a problem of the text editor (I'm currently using the built-in editor of Aruba)... How can I make sure that the encoding is right?
Try copying your code files into notepad++ and make sure that the encoding is actually set to UTF-8 without BOM.
I have a QString which contains a japanese string. But while debugging its just showing "???" in place of string. I need it to display it in qml. I have used QtextCodec but didnt work for me. Please give any solution or suggestion to fix the issue.
Have you tried this?
label->setText(QString::fromLocal8Bit("日本語"));
Save source file in UTF-8 (or other which can encode your characters) encoding
Set default codec with QtextCodec (I've tried, and it is working without this setting, too).
Use label->setText(QString::fromWCharArray(L"日本語"));
I was doing a bunch of search-replace operations in notepad++ to effectively minify my css - mostly removing whitespace/tabs etc...) This ended up breaking much of my css.
Apparently a strange character (​) was inserted all over the place) Using notepad++ in UTF-8 without BOM, I cannot see these, but they appeared in a view-source.
I was able to remove these by doing a search replace in ANSI encoding, but my question is, what is this character, and why might it have appeared?
The string “​” is the UTF-8 encoded form of ZWSP when misinterpreted as windows-1252 encoded data. (Checked this using a nice UTF-8 decoder.) This explains why you don’t see it in Notepad++ in UTF-8 mode; ZWSP (zero-width space) is an invisible character with no width.
Apparently browsers are interpreting the style sheet as windows-1252 encoded. Saving the file with BOM might help, since then browsers would probably guess the encoding better. The real fix is to make sure (in a server-dependent manner) that the server sends appropriate Content-Type header for the CSS file.
But if this is the only non-Ascii character in your CSS file, it does not matter in practice, after you have removed the offending data.
I don’t know of any simple way to make Notepad++ insert ZWSP (you could of course use general character insertion utilities in the system), so it’s a bit of mystery where it came from. Perhaps via copy and paste from somewhere.
Using the web developer plug in or ext in Firefox you can see the problem character in the css document.
In Visual Studio all I could see was:
}
.t
Web developer showed an unwanted hidden character, an "a" with a caret on top:
}
â.t
The utf encoder link above revealed this
} (the encoded character for ampersand)
.t
and this
but simply fix the problem by deleting and retyping.
When I put this word "Bibliothèque" in a .aspx page, I see it correctly "Bibliothèque".
If I put the same word in a .html file, I see "Bibliothèque"
How can this be possible? Must be an IIS issue but I can't find the setting.
How can a .aspx file show the right word but not a .html file.
Open the file named web.config in the ASP.NET project. The value of requestEncoding attribute in globalization element is "utf-8". It means the requested texts were encoded as UTF-8 character set.
check your browser what it is support. you can change it using character encoding. So your HTML is giving you the result according to browser character encoding.
To ensure it will always work, for this specific example, you can replace the non ASCII characters using Html entities, like this: Bibliothèque. But this is not always practical in general.
Otherwise, there are other various ways to make it work:
use byte order mark encoding (sometimes called 'signature', or BOM, by editors) and save the file as UTF-8
add a META character encoding to your html file.
define what HTTP headers will be sent to the client using the globalization element in the application web.config (responseEncoding, etc.)
define what HTTP headers will be sent to the client using the ASP.NET #page directive
The best is to make sure all this is consistent in your application. UTF-8 support is now widespread, so it's a good choice as the encoding.

I have a wordpress installation in english but all of the content is in Japanese. I have set the charset to utf-8 in the head section of the page and all the characters display fine. However if I use the wordpress search widget to search for something in japanese, all of the characters get encoded into some wierd encoding that looks like this: %E3%82%92%E8%A1%8C%E3%81%84%E3%81%BE%E3%81%99%E3%80%82 and so the search doesn't work. I have looked for about 2 hours trying ot find out what the problem is but I can't work it out. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks
1 You have to know encoding of your Japanese contents.
2 Then you have to convert all of the contents to UTF-8, then put into Wordpress DB.
I guess you skipped step 1. Therefore wordpress DB has Shift-JIS or EUC Japanese contents.
But wordpress believed all contents were UTF-8.
Then Wordpress sent its search result with Charcterset=UTF-8 meta tag.
