utf8和php错误

Question

when i enter a pound symbol - £ - into my code it appears as an unknown symbol... its in the code and doesnt go into the db.

im using codeigniter, notepad++ on windows and have added

<?php header("Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8");?>

to the top of my page-

Pound symbols that go in and out of the db seem to be fine but when the symbol is hard coded, i get the error symbol.

what am i doing wrong?

Answer 1

Set the php file ( where you whant to hardcode the pound simbol ) document encoding to utf-8 . If that doesn't work you can allways use £ or £ witch you're browser will render as a pound sign .
