Unicode and HtmlEncode

[Anders Both]

Hello dotnet.aspnet group -

I want to do encode e.g. japanise or arabic text into something like:

بةكوردي
عةلي

Before putting it in my HTML code (aspx page) . But when i try to use

System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlEncode("Some arabic:????????? ???? ????????? ???
");

Only normal stuff like é etc are encoded, not all the arabic text.

I really hope someone can help me,

Ny the way are there any difference between
System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlEncode and (this.)Server.HtmlEncode .

p.s. My unicode text is comming from the database, I am not writing it into
my files.

Best Regards,

Anders Both, Denmark.

AFAIK what you write to the Response object is encoded as defined by your
web.config configuration file (utf-8 by default).

What if you try to just write your text ? For now I would say that it tries
to encode what you already encoded...

I know that if I just write it, it is working fine, even in a .js file. But
I just felt it would be better with
بةكورد&#1610 style.

Even if I end up just writing it, I still mean that it should be possible to
htmlEncode arabic text.

Thx so fare.

If e.g. you want the text to be inside the <title></title> the unicodetext
have to be htmlEnoded.

Look here, to see that title is not working:
