Corrupt characters in iso-8895-1

Posted by satya61229 on August 17, 2009

My page was in iso-8859-1 and few characters are not showing properly. This page has  been created by someone else.

Characters ä was showing ä and ö was showing ö. I changed character encoding through Firefox browser and I was the meaning of ö and ä.

I copied all the text from iso-8859-1 page, as I need iso-8859 content. So, I have changed the encoding again to iso-8859-1 and copied all the text. I used Editplus and there I have taken iso-8859-1 encoded page and pasted the text. There I have Searched and Replaced all the occurance of ä with ä and all. Now, after saving text was all clear.
