Some years ago, I created my website Http://www.foreverbarcelona.com myself using Microsoft Word. Little by little I've learnt new tricks and I've added new resources, but I'm not a webmaster at all and I don't know much about computer languages.
So one of my big problems was that often accents, apostrophes and other signs were viewed as: ������. It wasn't pretty and it made reading my website more difficult and tiring. But I didn't know how to solve it...
And yesterday I came up with the solution!!!! I opened a file and went:
Tools > Options > General > Web Options > Codification > Unicode (UTF-8)
(it had been saved as "Occidental" or "European")
And it worked!!!!
I spent two afternoons saving it in Unicode and replacing all the weird symbols by understandable characters, but it was worth.
Now I can announce that my website doesn't have ������ anymore, and I hope to solve soon some other minor details I encountered during the process.
