Server.HtmlDecode("‘") does not work

[emailmygroup]

I am trying to decode character ‘#; but it is not working. Anybody
knows how to decode this character?

[George Ter-Saakov]

What to you mean by decode. It's not coded.

‘ is an UTF-8 representation of the symbol.
You can use Decoder utf8Decoder = Encoding.UTF8.GetDecoder();
to work with it or convert to Unicode. But you will not fit it into ASCII
table.

I *reaally* don't understand your question.

When I process Server.HTMLDecode("‘")

....what I get as a result is : '

See the sample at : http://asp.net.do/test/HTMLencode.aspx

It's the LAST label in the list, after %3f ...and the code is :

im txtenc2 as String = Server.HTMLDecode("‘")
lblMessage6.Text = txtenc2

It seems to render OK in that test. What is the problem you're seeing ?

When I write Server.HTMLDecode("‘") output is as follows

Output: (not printable character so no output)
length of string: 1
Ascii value of character using Asc function: 63

Do I need to change any settings anywhere? In my web.config file

<globalization requestEncoding="utf-8" responseEncoding="utf-8" />

Thanks

I'm using :

<globalization requestEncoding="iso-8859-1" responseEncoding="iso-8859-1" fileEncoding="iso-8859-1" />

Can you test with those settings...and post back the result ?

responseEncoding="iso-8859-1" fileEncoding="iso-8859-1" />
but no luck.
