phpQuery making  of   and others

Question

When I have a file that I run through phpQuery that has stuff like   or © in it somehow a  is added.

so when I have this file (hello.html):

hello, this is a test ©

and I run this code:

$f = phpQuery::newDocumentFile( 'hello.html' );
echo $f->html();

I get the following output:

hello, this is a test ©

Is there something I can do to fic this?

Answer 1

 shows up because of encoding issues, I would try converting it from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8 using utf8_encode

$markup = file_get_contents('hello.html');
$utf8_markup = utf8_encode($markup);
$doc = phpQuery::newDocumentHTML($utf8_markup);

This is a related post HTML encoding issues - “” character showing up instead of “ ”
