tick symbol not appearing in xslt

Question

I have an xslt file where i have used the below code snippet. I have used ✓ for a tick symbol infront of Hello World. The xslt is used to parse and xml response and render to an HTML.

<td colspan="2" class="cellwhite font13 fontNormal" align="center">
                                            <span>&#10003;</span> Hello World
                                    </td>

But the tick symbol is not appearing in html file. it is coming as a^?? .

Answer 1

I suspect you have generated an HTML file that is correctly encoded in UTF-8, and you are viewing it with some piece of software that doesn't know it is UTF-8, or that can't handle UTF-8. You need to look at how the HTML is being displayed.
