Go here, http://validator.w3.org/ run that URL

if you use firefox;

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1843

It'll show you what the errors are on the page.

I'll help...

lets get started.

I'm going to need those e mail addresses when you get a chance. :o

Diamonds with question mark inside.

All shows correctly here, IE 6 and Firefox 2.0.0.4!:hmmm:

Like Subnuts said, worked for me.........Do not email anyone. Hold the check you are giving the movers until they correct it.

IE 8 worked with and without compat mode on.

Firefox 3.5.7 displayed the question marks.

I believe another posted had it correct, it may be caused by copy/pasting from a doc. If it was word there are format info that can cause this. Paste it to notepad then copy and paste back in. See if it works anyway...

Something goofy???
 

In Neals link in this thread the boxes were there....Viewing was Unicode.....Change to Western fixed that.....

SOMEBODY PLEASE ANSWER THIS ONE PLEASE: I just checked my email, I clicked on the link Neal sent out....I am in my inbox, Outlook Express, everything is as it should be, I check encoding and it is Unicode again............However displayed properly in my email........I am like most using IE8.........

What is the correct explanation!!!!!!!!!!

Aye, boxes I see
Where 'postrophes should be
It's not just thee
'Tis also me
Do I earn a fee
Or is this for free?

:haha::haha:^^

Nice work Steve. Now you got me wish I'da thunka that one.

Hello?
 

Hello Again?

This page: http://www.subsim.com/ssr/shells_fury.php

is missing the

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />

tag from the head section (or whatever is the right encoding for that page).

blind me!! it's there, but it's still wrong for some reason.


One solution I can suggest is how I've converted some of my pages from ISO-8859-1 into UTF-8 is:

Create new blank page with ISO-8859-1 encoding and then copy&paste the body section of the Shells of fury review page (which is currently windows-1252) into that new blank page and overwrite the old page.


One more edit:
w3 validator says the page is in utf-8, but the head section has tag: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">

Neal, I use to see these sometimes when there is a translation issue of text written on German keyboards put up in a place that "is English" in the widest technological meaning. the problem are special keys and the German "Umlaute" like ä, ö, ü, keyboards are obviously different here. There have been a number of reviews , also at tanksim and subsim, that first were displayed correctly for me, then after some months started to display the little boxes, and again months later eventually started to be displayed correctly again. The problem also showed up with the reviews I have written for you.

Maybe server-related, that they changed and switched some things!?

Try changing this line
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
To this line

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

What�s the problem again? I can�t see any squares.

Hello Neal,

I see the apostrophes and the hyphens have been replaced with little boxes.
I am using Firefox/2.0.0.11.
