Displaying non standard characters

You’ll probably need to encode them.

Thank you for your interest but I am afraid my head is almost a code free zone. Where and how would i do this. I have had a quick look at your link and couldn’t see the codes for the characters I wanted anyway!??? Pensaro1.

Esperanto is supposed to be part of the Latin-3 character set, so the characters you need should be on this page. Now find a character. Let’s use the number zero. There are two numbers associated with it– 0030 and 48. The first is a hexadecimal number, the second is a decimal. You want to use the hexadecimal number. To make the character show up, you’d write &-#-x-0-0-3-0-; without the dashes. Easy ??

I tested this briefly and it worked fine. I don’t know what kind of browser support it has, though, as I don’t use these characters. There might be a plugin that will make this easier, so maybe you want to look around.

Hi again. I appreciate your help. I checked out the page you pointed me to. It does have the codes for the characters I need. It’s going to be a lot of work to do that every time I want a different character. Would I have to do this in html instead of visual when creating a post? I can create the characters in visual, no problem. I have a tool on my computer and I have checked out a couple of plugins which do that. The problem comes when publishing – they display as ‘???’.Perhaps I should check out the plugin documentation or forums. I’ll also check the language files in WP. Thanks again.

Me again. I can’t find any language files in my WP. Is that part of the problem? Is it possible to create such a file and add the relevant mo(?) file? And if it is the answer, where do I find the right file?

I seem to have to have solved the problem. Here’s how; I went into wp admin, then settings for ‘reading’ and altered ‘encoding for pages and feeds’ from ‘UTF -8’ to ‘ISO-8859-1’. which is Latin-1, I think. It seems to have done the trick because the Esperanto characters are now displaying properly.Thanks to apljdi for advice. ?? pensaro1.

Nice. I was going to suggest trying that. Good for you.
