I have designed a html page where code look like following

<!DOCTYPE	html	PUBLIC	"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"	"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">	<html	xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">	<head>	<meta	http-equiv="Content-Type"	content="text/html;	charset=UTF-8"	/>	<title>Title</title>	</head>	<body	style="margin:0;"><div	id="alignment"	align="center">		<table	id="border"	bgcolor="#e5e5e5"	border="0"	cellpadding="20"	cellspacing="0"			width="726">				<tr><t<td	style="font-family:	Arial,	Helvetica,	sans-serif;	font-size:	19px;	color:	#FFF;													background:	#080808;"	align="left">													hi-boss												</td></tr>				</table>	</div></body>	</html>

but in output I get hi?boss instead of hi- boss.

Can any one say , what I miss here.

Many thanks in advance

0	Hi shahoo, I think we have no problem in displaying symbol minus '-', For displaying special characters we follow different approach like for displaying '<' we use &lt Please refer following link http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_entities.asp http://brucejohnson.ca/SpecialCharacters.html Sahoo, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator
