I’m having trouble printing the characters correctly. if I write anything inside the html, the characters are normal. <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

  • if I write a text with special characters in javascript and have it printed in a textarea: "Referral", this ends up returning in the textarea Indicação

    document.getElementById('textarea').value = "Indicação";

You have some way of printing that, right? the only way to print "right" is by doing what the guy on this blog said? http://marcelomaidden.blogspot.com.br/2012/11/como-colocar-acentuacao-em-alerts.html

javascript

  • Javascript is in an external file?

  • <script type="text/javascript" src="js/teste.js" charset="ISO-8859-1"></script> yes. I tried to do something like, but I couldn’t.

  • @João on the Meta tag you put UTF-8, and in the javascript example you put ISO-8859-1, I don’t know much about Charsets, but it shouldn’t be the same?

  • did not work if I put the same values.

    See if the Javascript file is encoded as ISO-8859-1. This already happened to me, the PHP scripts had the accents broken because the HTML was in UTF-8 and the scripts in ISO-8859-1 (even with the header pointing UTF-8). To convert the files you can use Notepad++ or any other text editor. In Notepad++: Menu > Encoding > Enconde in UTF-8 without BOM

John, the problem is that your file Charsets are incompatible.

I don’t know the editor you are using, but to avoid problems, you should save all files with the same charset, preferably UTF-8.

And to ensure browser compatibility, I still use the tag <meta charset="utf-8" /> shortly after <head> in my html file.

You can use the Notepad++ [http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download] to check the charset of your files and even convert. (menu "Format").

in my case the solutions were not solving this problem. It had been missing to configure the language in the html file(tag html lang="en").

That solved the problem.
