i've been trying to create a code snippet that would contain a special
character...i.e. a trademark symbol (™).
but to no avail. whether in the CDATA section or a literal
definition, no workie!
anyone know if there's a way around this?
Can you show us some code that is failing, if you just have that in a
string
there is no reason it should fail.
thanks for the reply anthony...
down in the CDATA section, you'll see BLAH™
i can't get it to work. and if i remove the TradeMark symbol, it works
fine.

The xml declare indicates the file has a UTF-8 encoding, are you sure the
file is saved as UTF-8. Open it in notepad and select save as... I suspect
it says ANSI, change it to UTF-8 and save.
