72557 - Euro and z caron in Windows-1252 character set are not displayed

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Internationalization, defect)

Description

[Steve Chapel]

The characters 128 (Euro symbol) and 158 (small z, caron accent) from the
Windows-1252 character set are not displayed in Mozilla. Instead, a question
mark or square is displayed in their place.

Attachment: A table of all numeric character entities (Euro should be next to p, z caron should be next to Z caron)

Comment 2

Quote from the HTML spec,
>The syntax "&#D;", where D is a decimal number, refers to the ISO 10646 decimal 
character number D. 

Windows-1252 is not supported, use unicode or CER (e.g. €).

Note: the proper way to have the euro symbol is € or € or €
(see http://www.stri.is/TC304/Euro/N881.html in the Markup
Languages section, and http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/sgml/entities.html at the
bottom).
