Problem displaying special characters PHP/ajax

3 New Member
Hey ... i'm fetching my database information with php
for example: "m²" or "kint&co"

then retrieving this with a XMLHttpObject request,

and putting it on my page with innerHTML


the result would be

m? and: kint?co

this causes problems all through my site.
whats the reason for this?

Hi, i'm working on an ASP project with prototype.js but i just can't get special chars to work as they should. I'm using UTF-8 pages but as soon as i call a page containing for example å,ä,ö, < or it's replaced with a questionmark. I call the pages using new Ajax.Updater(target, page, {asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true}); Any ideas?

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
