Don’t HTML-encode your characters before storage. You should store as pure a form of your data as possible. HTML encoding is needed because you are going to display the data on an HTML page, so do the encoding during the processing of the data to create the page. For example, suppose you decide you’re also … Read more
This really depends on the nature of the binary data, and the constraints that “text” places on your output. First off, if your binary data is not compressed, try compressing before encoding. We can then assume that the distribution of 1/0 or individual bytes is more or less random. Now: why do you need text? … Read more
This question has been already answered in Unicode characters in Windows command line – how? You missed one step -> you need to use Lucida console fonts in addition to executing chcp 65001 from cmd console.
git is dumping out raw bytes. In this case, it doesn’t care what your file’s encoding is. The highlighted <F6> you’re seeing is coming from less, which is presumably configured as your PAGER. Try setting: LESSCHARSET=UTF-8
Click File -> Settings (or click Ctrl + Alt + S) and find File Encodings in your Android Studio. See the image below as a reference. Now you have three options Change project encoding to match UTF-8 since both Gradle and Android Lint use this (recommended), or change IDE encoding to match other encoding, or … Read more
To summarize the various levels at which the codec can be applied: Set Config.groovy’s grails.views.default.codec=”html” to get HTML escaping by default on all ${expressions} in the application. Then when you want to default a whole page back to none, use the directive: <%@page defaultCodec=”none” %> or <%@ defaultCodec=”none” %> To disable HTML encoding for one … Read more
You don’t need to encode data that is already encoded. When you try to do that, Python will first try to decode it to unicode before it can encode it back to UTF-8. That is what is failing here: >>> data = u’\u00c3′ # Unicode data >>> data = data.encode(‘utf8’) # encoded to UTF-8 >>> … Read more
You have to save the batch file with OEM encoding. How to do this varies depending on your text editor. The encoding used in that case varies as well. For Western cultures it’s usually CP850. Batch files and encoding are really two things that don’t particularly like each other. You’ll notice that Unicode is also … Read more
Might be a bit ugly, but echo -e should do it: echo -en “$(curl $URL)” -e interprets escapes, -n suppresses the newline echo would normally add. Note: The \u escape works in the bash builtin echo, but not /usr/bin/echo. As pointed out in the comments, this is bash 4.2+, and 4.2.x have a bug handling … Read more
This way of specifying the encoding of a Python file comes from PEP 0263 – Defining Python Source Code Encodings. It is also recognized by GNU Emacs (see Python Language Reference, 2.1.4 Encoding declarations), though I don’t know if it was the first program to use that syntax.
