You still have UTF-8 in your template, but you tell the browser that you are using ISO-8859-15. You need to change the actual encoding in your templates, in the LDAP and in your databases to be identical. Only then you can tell the browser that what you send him uis ISO-8859-15. So we are back to the question: can you change the charset that the LDAP server uses? Not the charset you send to the browser, but the charset in the LDAP.

Special Characters - Display Issue - CF 5
I really don't know how if at all to change it. I must admit I don't know a lot about character sets. I even more confused now then I was before. You suggested in your previous thread that I should be using the charset ISO-88659-15 and not utf-8. I did what you said and added this line of code in my application.cfm file: This is how the organisation name is displayed: Crédit FrÃnce When I change the charset to utf-8, the organisation name is displayed correctly: Crédit FrÄnce You were suggesting that I use the charset ISO-88659-15, but by including this in the meta tag, the output seen on the browser is not right. I am dependent on your help, kindly help. >ColdFusion Programmer wrote: > >> I'm not sure mate, probably utf-8 > >We already established that.

Special Characters - Display Issue - CF 5
here is what I want to do. I have the users in an LDAP Server. If I create an organisation with a special character say é, when displayed on the web page I see the funny charactes. I have now understood that adding the meta tag with utf charset in the application.cfm file can lead to unexpected results. I know there are only a couple of templates in my application that display the organisation name, and the only character that I want to escape is the acute (é), how can I avoid using the meta tag and in its place use something that does the job, I've tried the htmlSafe() udf but that does not display it correctly, is there a inbuilt CF function, I've tried the HTMLEditFormat(). Can you please show me how to do this. Best Regards, Allan >> There is nothing wrong with the meta tag. It is the charset you >> are using which is wrong.

It is the charset you are using which is wrong. All French characters are covered in ISO-88659-15, and CF 5 supports that. So it would be wise to use ISO-8859-15 instead of UTF-8 so you don't end up with garbage in your database. You have to make sure you use ISO-8859-15 for everything, (templates, database and server) and it will work fine. And your data wil still be legible to other applications as CF 5.

I would probobly include the meta tag in whatever page is included for layout purposes. If you have a header file or if you use fusebox3 the layout file you use.

I don't know how to escape special characters and display them in HTML Safe Format. This is a french banking application and there are banks with funny names, ex: Crédit France, Zürcher Kantonalbank, è, Ä, acute and the like. The bank Crédit France gets displayed like this on the browser: Crédit France. Can somebody please show me how to display it correctly. I've tried HTMLEditFormat() but it does change anything.
