Multi-key character problem

[Dan Healy]

I have just upgraded from Ubuntu 12.04 to 14.04.  Using the compose key I can enter multi-key characters.  On the first attachment I show two strings that look identical, but when I view the source code, the second attachment, they are not identical.  Under "<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=..." see "var ansTxt =..." and  four lines down in the code see "var ansTxtDecode=...".  The two strings are not equal.

The first string came from a mysql record created in Ubuntu 12.04, the second entered with Ubuntu 14.04.

Does anyone have any idea what I have missed.  The two strings were equal in 12.04 and obviously not in 14.04. 

Thanks, Dan Healy

Jesus that color scheme...

The first answer is using an HTML entity, the other is using a multi-key character. I'd recommend doing something like normalizing all inputs into UTF-8, replacing any entities with the appropriate UTF-8.

Thanks Nathan for the response.  The other, using a multi-key character, is entered into an HTML text box.  How do I normalize all inputs to UTF-8?  I don't think I had to do anything special with 12.04.

If I can fix this problem I will gladly change the color scheme.
