All you have to do is hit Alt PrintScreen inside Notepad (or use the windows Snipping Tool with Shift WindowsKey S and then draw a box around the area of screen you want to snip) then paste into your reply here. If you think you have to clarify that statement because it’s not intuitively obvious to you, then you probably have some studying of web technology to said in How to find and replace unrecognizable characters in multiple files of a folder with the correct character using Notepad ?: Yes, that’s the way that web source files work: you use a text editor to edit the plain text HTML source. html extensions but I edit them with Notepad )? I already gave the caveat “if you know there aren’t any other UTF8 characters in the file” before following that procedure. “Alphabets or numerals”: I don’t know what’s in your page. If you don’t know that, you probably have some studying of web technology to do. ![]() Your image data isn’t in the HTML source file. ? Will that cause any problems for the images, alphabets or numerals on any of the webpages Then you go to the menu entry called “Convert to UTF-8-BOM” and click on it. You look on the Notepad menu, where it has the word “Encoding” as a menu entry you click on it. Or just leave it in “ANSI” and pray that nothing messes it up again in the future, or that you don’t later want to enter text that isn’t in the “ANSI” said in How to find and replace unrecognizable characters in multiple files of a folder with the correct character using Notepad How do I do Encoding > Convert to UTF-8-BOM This will re-interpret those bytes as WIN-1252 (“ANSI”), so it will know they are really smart quotesĪt this point, you could do Encoding > Convert to UTF-8-BOM if your end application (webserver) defaults to UTF-8. If you know there aren’t any other UTF8 characters in the file, then do Encoding > ANSI ( not Encoding > Convert to ANSI). (In UTF-8, the single byte x93 is not a representation of a real character U 0093 needs a different sequence of bytes to encode it in UTF-8… which is the crux of the problem) in an ANSI file, where x93 is a valid byte at codepoint 0x93, \x93 search does work. Okay, I can replicate: if I have a file open that Notepad thinks is UTF8 (or UTF-8-BOM), and search for that text, it won’t find it. I tried to search for \x93 and \x94 after selecting the “Regular expression” mode, but it says, Can’t find the text "\x93" And this Forum isn’t here to guide you though the intricacies of web design we are here to talk about (and help with) the usage of , Because if you don’t, you’re likely to mess things up more than they currently are. I would highly recommend doing research on how file encoding, especially for webpages, works. Why have you named your webpage source file with the. If you want to keep the encoding as-is, use the following search => replace pairs:īut don’t do that until you actually understand the encoding issues involved.īy file, I mean the “source” file of the webpage with the. Or, even worse, you have a mix of UTF8 and WIN-1252-encoded characters in your file, which is just wrong. So it looks like you’ve got a file where you put in smart quotes, and saved the file as ANSI (probably really Windows 1252), and that probably when you are sending the webpage, you are saying it’s UTF8 and Notepad has probably mis-guessed that it’s UTF8. Please note that in a so-called “ANSI” encoding, x91 - x94 are the “smart quotes”: ‘ ’ “ ”. And in Notepad , it sometimes guesses the encoding wrong, because to a program, it’s all a bunch of bytes, and while there are heuristics that identify certain encodings, any encoding that doesn’t use the Unicode BOM is likely to be misinterpreted under the right (wrong?) circumstances. On the web page, you have to send the right encoding information in the header (and maybe in the meta tag)… By “correct”, I mean that the sent encoding must match with the actual encoding of the file. Your real problem in that file is that you don’t understand the file’s actual encoding. To search for x92 in Notepad , look for \x92 when in regular expression mode. Forum isn’t a generic help forum we are focused on Notepad if you want help with command prompt or power shell, go elsewhere.
