Math Symbols Not Displaying Correctly

[Learner00]

I followed the instructions for creating a Blockly editor, but the math symbols do not display correctly. Is there something I need to add to display them?

(When I open a Blockly demo file, it does display correctly.)

The attached image (presumably a screenshot) on your post is not visible.  Can you post again?  Thanks.

Wow.  What platform are you on (operating system and browser)?

You can modify these lines in msg/messages.js:
304: Blockly.Msg.MATH_DIVISION_SYMBOL = '÷';
306: Blockly.Msg.MATH_MULTIPLICATION_SYMBOL = '×';

And change them to something your computer can render, such as '*' and '/'.  Then recompile with build.py.

If you can't get the build to work, then modify msg/js/en.js directly (currently lines 192 and 204).

Thanks, changing the symbols in msg/js/en.js worked.

I'm on Mac OS 10.10.2 Chrome 43.0. 

The math symbols displayed correctly for the included demo files, so not sure what happened with my file.

Does your file specify an ISO character set, something like this:

<meta charset="iso-8859-1">

Blockly assumes that it will be on a Unicode page:

<meta charset="utf-8">

Adding <meta charset="utf-8"> solved the issue. Thanks!
