I have a switch case to check the month and I had to add a hexcode for the month of March not to have problem with the character "ç".
The March string was going like this: Mar o
One of the ways to solve the problem would be to put the tag in the html, however the code is pure javascript and I can not set that tag.
I put the hexcode, it worked perfectly, but I'd like to know what the best way to do it is.
You can use a UNICODE \u fault escape sequence to represent ç and Ç :
\u00e7 is equivalent to ç (lowercase)
\u00c7 is equivalent to Ç (uppercase)
For example:
alert('mar\u00e7o');
alert('MAR\u00c7O'); If you are displaying things that are not brought from the database you can use this tag in your HTML file, <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> Or if the case is to bring database data with accentuation you will have to create a function for this in order to exchange values that may appear this way
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
</head>
<form method="POST" name="alimento">
<select>
<option selected>Feijão</option>
<option>Paçoca</option>
</select>
</form>
<?php
$alimento = utf8_decode(($_POST['alimento']));
echo $alimento;
?>
As a result of select = > Paçoca e Feijão
If you do not want to use the hexcode you can try using our function to encode the "ç" ... I do not think it's feasible whenever a special character has to look for its hexcode:
