Online Html Decoder

I have bound data to a repeater control in ab asp.net application. When the data is displayed in plain HTML text in the browser it comes with these characters: â€. I am unable to figure out the reason behind this.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I am using tFPDF to generate a PDF. The php file is UTF-8 encoded.I want © for example, to be output in the pdf as the copyright symbol.

I have tried iconv, html_entity_decode, htmlspecialchars_decode. When I take the string I am trying to decode and hard-code it in to a different file and decode it, it works as expected. So for some reason it is not being output in the PDF. I have tried output buffering. I am using DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf (true type fonts).

Link to tFPDF: http://fpdf.org/en/script/script92.php

I am out of ideas. I tried double decoding, I checked everywhere to make sure it was not being encoded anywhere else.

I have a string that was encoded with AntiXssEncoder

"Some text,\r\n\r&#1​0;Another text .\r\n\r\nThird text "

I want to replace &#1​0; with <br/> or \n for new line, but when I check if string contains

"&#1​0;" result in false,

Also Replace("&#1​0;","<br/>") does not replace anything

In my html source code I have some special symbols like the copyright one <meta content="© Copyright... />

For some text editors these are shown correctly as above, but on VS Code I see it as � and after I save the file, the symbol will be shown as � and � on other editors.

If I explicitly paste the © on VS Code and save it, then on another text editor it will be saved as ©.

How can I solve this? What should I do?
