I'm building a simple website example where I added an image. I'm using textedit on mac. However, special characters are being added to the file when I look in Chrome's inspector.
In textedit I type
<img src =“images/nicole.png”>
But it displays as
<img src="“images/nicole.pngâ€"">
Why is this happening?
The quote you are currently using is a Unicode version (Most likely the Chinese version). That's why it is showing as those weird chars. Try to copy and paste this " into your code instead of typing them in should fix it. You might want to check your IME setting or text editor setting to prevent it in the future.
