Unicode Character 'GREATER-THAN OR EQUAL TO'

The 'greater-than-or-equal-to' symbol is ≥ and is usually put in an HTML page with the following two codes: ≥ or ≥ - embedding either of these in a HTML Composer file does not work. I also tried &|ge; or &|#8805; with no luck.

Copy-pasted the actual character and that worked.

Until you deploy the file, that is. Then it gets replaced by a '?' (question mark).
I have a case open for this issue (although in 7.6.11).

Thankfully it works for me, maybe because the html page is embedded in a focexec with a -HTMLFORM command.

Please try adding a non-breaking space (   ) to your HTML page and let us know what happens when you run it ...

Never mind ... apparently this is now fixed in 7.7.03M!

Now, why did you think something so complicated as a   would work right off the bat?

I entered:

AAA BBB&|nbsp;CCC

and that's exactly what's displayed, because this text was converted to

AAA BBB&|nbsp;CCC

in the html code.

What if you do it directly from the HTML tab (not the Design one)?

In 7.7.03 I remember getting a beautiful semicolon instead of the space I expected when I loaded the page in my browser ... I think the engine was trying to resolve &nbs as a Dialogue Manager variable (which obviously had no value) leaving the ";" to be displayed alone.

As I said, now that I moved to 7.7.03M I no longer see that happening so I can't replicate ... or maybe I was drunk then ... not that I drink much but lack of sleep has some weird effects on certain people
