anyone had experience with html enties?

i need to know how to convert utf-8 chars (chinese) to html enties like 节

http://au3.php.net/manual/en/function.htmlentities.php

thanks, found a great php article... just need a dot net framework one :S

don't have a language reference like the php manual?

jim making serious posts is sooooooo confusing, you're supposed to just say things about 4wd and post "no u" whenever there's a serious debate going on

serious, like your momma lol

ahah that's php too

LOL

thanks guys, what a nightmare, still not solved. has to be done by monday :S

http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/charset.html#encodings and http://www.unicode.org/unicode/faq/unicode_iso.html

That lists the entities as ISO10646.

Theres good articles on changing encodings,
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.text.encoding.getencodings.aspx

but dont seem to do to ISO10646 :S

just convert the string to utf32 (System.Text.Encoding.UTF32) iterate over the bytes in groups of 4 and convert them back to an int and do &#number; for each int

i think that is the bullet proof way to do it. you could also try and use Char.ConvertToUtf32 but there is some weirdness with surrogate pairs which will probably screw up asian languages.

thanks hast! day too late tho, found an article that just exactly what you said. : )
