Magic Mirror -> Special Caracters won't display in headers

[Galm]

Hello,

I have a small display problems. Special charaters (https://www.degraeve.com/reference/specialcharacters.php) won’t display in titles. The fun part is that they do display in each modules so i don’t get it.
Regional setting are correctly set since i can get the special caracters (texte mode) when i am on the interface. Did i miss something?

Thanks a lot for your help

As I know, Roboto font of default MM has some chars missed. My remembrance tell me there were some topics about it.

I was able to get the &#8593 and the ↓ to show in one of my headers…

What characters are you having issues with?

[Galm]

I am having issue with (capital or not) : à; é; ô… french caractere i will say… WHat it is fun : inside modules like calendar, it is working will and this type of caractere are showing properly

@galm

show me your header codes

there are a few ways to get them to show…

[Galm]

well i haven’t change anything on headers code… that’s the standard one… i can use special caracter code to make it work as a workaround if i want

@galm

yes, I typed the code for the characters in the header of the config file…

@galm

I don’t think it is possible to do without using character codes

I would think that if you had a french keyboard, id would type right in…

[Galm]

well why should not be since within the module (calendar for example) it is working ? what’s why i don’t get it. the meta header is correct in the HTML pages (index.html) so it should show up

@galm

So, how are you putting in the characters?

French keyboard?

@galm

You can also copy and paste the characters…

well since it is HTML the only way workaround i can see is using HTML core for special caratere… i was hoping somebody could explan to me why i have a difference between the header and the module in terms of applying UTF-8 standard :(

@galm

This is copy/paste…
