Troubleshooting Chinese Character Display with Ajax

[ngkamsengpeter]

When I using ajax to gather information from a webpage , it show ������� for the chinese character ， but when i run the webpage separately it can show the right character.
I use responseText to gather information and use innerHTML to show on the webpage.What is the problem ?Do i need to set the encoding using javascript , but how ?

That's probably because when javascript receives the text string returned from the server it interprets it as ASCII. As far as i know Javascript will only interpret a character string as Unicode if the characters are appropriately escaped. For example, unicode characters in Javascript use the following escape sequence:
\u##$Where$## is a valid hexadecimal digit, such as :

<script>
alert("This is a unicode character: \u8880");
</script>

You might need to escape each character appropriately at the server if you want to use Ajax. Maybe you can use an IFrame instead.

There could be a few potential reasons for this issue. One possibility is that the webpage where you are gathering the information from is not properly encoded for Chinese characters. In this case, you may need to set the encoding manually in your JavaScript code using the `charset` attribute. You can also try using the `decodeURIComponent()` function to properly decode any characters that may have been encoded.

Another possible issue could be with the way you are displaying the information on your webpage. Make sure that your webpage is also properly encoded for Chinese characters and that you are using the correct character set in your `innerHTML` method. You can also try using the `textContent` method instead, which will display the raw text without any encoding.

It's also worth checking the encoding settings in your web server and database, as they can also affect how Chinese characters are displayed. Make sure that they are both set to support UTF-8 encoding, which is the standard for displaying international characters.

If the issue persists, you may need to consult with a web developer or IT specialist who can troubleshoot the specific code and settings in your project to determine the root cause of the problem.
