Moodle 和电子邮件问题：电子邮件将特殊字符显示为 & ; 并不是 ＆

Question

I have a custom module installed in Moodle (the certificate module). You can have the certificate emailed to the student. Currently, I have an ampersand in my course name and it's showing up as & amp ;. Here's what I mean:

The ampersand is showing in the email subject line and not getting encoded.

It is happening on gmail, and Mac mail. Any ideas on how to fix this or is this something that is out of my control?

Answer 1

You didn't post your HTML code, so it's difficult to see what might be happening.

An ampersand & next to another character might be interpreted as by the email client displaying the email as ASCII code, since the ampersand is used to display extended characters like the copyright symbol: © which can be displayed as: © or © .

Extended characters are the characters that were not included in the standard ASCII character set. The original ASCII character set included all of the lowercase and uppercase letters on the keyboard ( a , A ), which are represented with ASCII codes 0 to 127. Anything above 127 is an extended character, for instance the Euro symbol, "€" € € or the trade mark symbol "™" ™ ™ .

One thought is that your email is not being encoded in UTF-8, which allows you to use extended characters without much difficulty. Do you have something like this in the email head: <meta charset="utf-8"> .

Good luck.
