I developed a module for DNN but when I view the page in a browser (IE7) instead of seeing the symbol "£" I see �.
in Firefox I see a blank space.
Can you help?

Thank you

Are you doing anything with "culture" in your module? How are you generating that symbol? are you using £

make sure in web.config you are using UTF-8 font, besides the data within your module needs to be stored using ntext or nvarchar (unicode data types).

Hi Christ and Sebastian,

Thank you for your answer.

My default language for the site is Italian but I did not do anything with the culture in the module.
I now noticed that if in the text of my module I type "£" I can see the "£" on the page.

The problem is when I add items to a dropdownlist using the code behind. Here is an example of my code

Me.DDLSim.Items.Add(New ListItem("£10 ", "10"))
Me.DDLSim.Items.Add(New ListItem("£15", "15"))
Me.DDLSim.Items.Add(New ListItem("£20", "20"))

when I render the page in IE the dropdown list shows �10 �15 �20

I just checked the webconfig and I had

<globalization culture="en-US" uiCulture="en" requestEncoding="UTF-8" responseEncoding="UTF-8" fileEncoding="UTF-8" />

I am not sure if this is correct or necessary but I changed it to

<globalization culture="it-IT" uiCulture="it" requestEncoding="UTF-8" responseEncoding="UTF-8" fileEncoding="UTF-8" />

but I still have the same problem.

Thank you for your help.

in your browser, please check the page encoding selection, is it set to auto and selects "western european utf-8"?
