problem with some special characters in Q&A? Smithers-Jones17-Dec-10 7:10 Smithers-Jones 17-Dec-10 7:10  I posted an answer in Q&A, which contained the character "é". In the preview it didn't display properly ("@~"), so I went back to modify my answer, removed the "é" and replaced it with a normal "e", but explained, what I changed and inserted the "é" there to cause the same error for show reasongs. Preview still shows the wrong characters, but after pressing the post-button, everything seems to be fine, "é" displayed correct. I am confused. Why didn't it work in the first place, and why are characters like this one not properly displayed in the preview? Had the same some time ago, when somebody posted a question in French and I left an answer both in French and English: I had to remove the letters with accents, cause they didn't show properly.

Dan Neely17-Dec-10 7:24 Dan Neely 17-Dec-10 7:24  It almost has to be a unicode issue of some sort, but the most obvious cause is out. @~ is 0x407e, which doesn't match any of the unicode representations for é[^] or É[^]. 3x12=36 2x12=24 1x12=12 0x12=18 Re: problem with some special characters in Q&A?

AspDotNetDev17-Dec-10 8:30 AspDotNetDev 17-Dec-10 8:30  That's a bug. But to get around it, you can type the entity character reference for special characters. For example, typing &eacute; would produce é. [Forum Guidelines] Re: problem with some special characters in Q&A?

The problem I have is that I invested a certain amount of time into answering the question, and when the question got deleted, so did all the rep points I obtained during it's brief life time. I know that's as designed, but it doesn't seem right. .45 ACP - because shooting twice is just silly ----- "Why don't you tie a kerosene-soaked rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat your candy ass..." - Dale Earnhardt, 1997 ----- "The staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - J.

Forgive your enemies - it messes with their heads My blog | My articles | MoXAML PowerToys | Onyx Re: Deleting Of Q/A Questions #realJSOP17-Dec-10 5:15 #realJSOP 17-Dec-10 5:15  I lost a considerable number of points yesterday when someone deleted my answer to a question because I called someone a retard and showed no remorse for doing so (nor a willingness to recant). There were 18 votes on my response, and the score on it was 4.97, while the question itself was 1-voted back to the stoneage (eleven 1 votes) for being - well - a retard. I lost HUNDREDS of points points over that. It's kinda hard to catch CG when people are pulling stunts like that. .45 ACP - because shooting twice is just silly ----- "Why don't you tie a kerosene-soaked rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat your candy ass..." - Dale Earnhardt, 1997 ----- "The staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - J.

(and it was me who deleted it, by the way. I could have edited it and made it less offensive, or edited to make it actually useful, but you didn't show a whole lot of universal love and understanding so I figured I should follow suit. Besides, if I'd edited it you would have just complained that I spelled "centre" incorrectly or something) cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project | Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP Re: Deleting Of Q/A Questions #realJSOP19-Dec-10 2:10 #realJSOP 19-Dec-10 2:10  Given the number of positive votes the message got, I think you were wrong in doing so. The guy was actually being a dick, but as I stated earlier, "retard" was a toned-down version of that sentiment. EDIT ============= Given the nature of the season, I thought I was being overly charitable by using the term "retard", but my heart was filled with the Christmas spirit, and all that crap... .45 ACP - because shooting twice is just silly ----- "Why don't you tie a kerosene-soaked rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat your candy ass..." - Dale Earnhardt, 1997 ----- "The staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - J.
