问题 I have a form with a textarea. Users enter a block of text which is stored in a database. Occasionally a user will paste text from Word containing smart quotes or emdashes. Those characters appear in the database as: –, ’, “ ,†What function should I call on the input string to convert smart quotes to regular quotes and emdashes to regular dashes ? I am working in PHP. Update: Thanks for all of the great responses so far. The page on Joel's site about encodings is very informative:

问题 This is my code : name = namestr.decode("utf-8") name.replace(u"\u2018", "").replace(u"\u2019", "").replace(u"\u201c","").replace(u"\u201d", "") This doesn't seem to work . I still find &ldquo , &rdquo etc in my text. Also this text has been parsed using beautiful soup 回答1: Replace the last line of your code with this one: name = name.replace(u"\u2018", "").replace(u"\u2019", "").replace(u"\u201c","").replace(u"\u201d", "") The replace method returns a modified string but it does not affect

问题 My company just converted many columns from varchar to nvarchar. Now it seems that when we render a smart quote (i.e. ALT+0146 ’) to the screen and then send it back to the SQL Server 2000 database for persistence, the smart quote gets corrupted to - ’ -. My Question: How could ASP server-side code corrupt a smart quote ’ ? EDIT: It appears that my question is similar to this one. Incidentally, Powerpoint content introduced the smart quote into the mix. However as I said before, I'm dealing

C++ How to replace unusual quotes in code

问题 sometimes when you copy code from a document it gets line numbers and strange quotes. I've written a script to remove those initial numbers but it is very hard to find a way to remove those strange quotes ‘’“” so I've included my full code. It reads in a file and puts out a formatted file. But the compiler warns that these quotes are multi characters, which I guess means non standard ascii chars. It kinda works but it's not a great solution. Any help appreciated: #include <iostream> #include

Converting ″Straight Quotes″ to “Curly Quotes”

问题 I have an application which uses a Javascript-based rules engine. I need a way to convert regular straight quotes into curly (or smart) quotes. It’d be easy to just do a string.replace for ["] , only this will only insert one case of the curly quote. The best way I could think of was to replace the first occurrence of a quote with a left curly quote and every other one following with a left, and the rest right curly. Is there a way to accomplish this using Javascript? 回答1: You could replace

MySQL choking on curly (smart) quotes

问题 I'm inserting some data into a database from a form. I'm using addslashes to escape the text (have also tried mysql_real_escape_string with the same result). Regular quotes are escaped, but some other quotes are not. For example, the string: Homer's blood becomes the secret ingredient in Moe’s new beer. is converted to: Homer\'s blood becomes the secret ingredient in Moe’s new beer. I didn't think the curly quote would matter unescaped, but only this text is inserted into the database: Homer

The best approach is not to replace them. People want to use “smart quotes”, let them. They're not aberrations that only exist
