There is no way you can see a character until it is 'translated' into a viewer. Doesn't matter what the viewer is it still must do that translation. And sometimes there is more than one translation in the pipeline (for example database to driver, to a 'string', then to 'html', then to a browser.) Member 16359559 wrote: Greek alphabet That also is an assumption. There is a character set, a binary representation, which is used for a 'language'. It will have a specific name. So you really need to determine what that is. Then the steps First extract the binary data from the database. Probably test data. Determine if the form is correct. That is does the binary value (hex or binary) match the character set. Note that if you attempt this by displaying a 'character' then you are not doing it correctly. If the binary value is not correct for the character set then nothing you can do in the code will fix that. Second step determine the pipeline from binary to display. This does include the driver between the whatever application/code that reads the database itself. For each step you must determine whether the binary value retains its original correct value. If you find a step where it is wrong then you have found where the problem is. You should also look for a different way to view the data besides html and a browser. Even just initially that might be the easiest way to determine if those are the problem.

Have you considered Visual Studio Code (shortly called as VSCode or Code)?

At least you got instructions. I bought a Chinese computer （BeeLink), and it came without any instructions. Fortunately, it was pre-loaded with Windows 11, which took a long time to update. I also had to download VS2022 Community, and SQL Express. Yes, I'm cheap. :rolleyes: It is strictly for brushing up on my C#/OOP, and Java Script. Would I buy it again? depends on how long this one lasts. Cohen the Barbarian.

I found a strange looking coin on the sidewalk, but I can't make heads nor tails out of it. The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Our terminals in the office generally ran at 9600 baud, except for yours truly. Since I was the system manager for the beastie, I solemnly decided that I needed to run at 19.2K. The machine had a 2400 baud modem connected to a phone line. I would call in over the weekend to work occasionally. We even had the "breakin evasion" feature enabled on the phone line. There was a password protecting the modem connection you had to enter before you got the login prompt. You had only three chances to enter the modem prompt correctly. After that it would continue to prompt you, but ignore what you entered even if you entered the correct password. At the time there were over 70 VAX/VMS systems in the area (Wright-Patterson Air Force Base), so there was a thriving hack community trying to break in. Software Zen: delete this;

Glad I could help. :rose: Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius

Nope, LEDs by themselves are perfectly OK and will last their typical 50.000 to 100.000 hours or so. It is all of the shoddy electronics they use to power them that fails. You know what it is like: anything they think off to shave a few cents of the total price is a bonus. If you can ride on thereputation of LEDs who cares if it fails prematurely? Originally being an electronics engineer instead of a programmer I can guarantee that the first thing you need to know as one of those is to work out the thermal analysis of any device you design. Alas, finding people who really understand that is just as difficult as finding a really good software developer.

I sit a few feet from it. :laugh: I'll be dead by 60 so i don't really care about my vision. Anyone that uses multiple monitors should be forced to anydesk into their own machine and try to use it remotely. All windows does (thankfully) to try and manage the size for me is set the font scaling to 300% After which i set it down to 150% It's only 3800+ pixels across. It doesn't need to be split. In VS Code, I just open two panels of code files side by side. Real programmers use butterflies

I flipped it. It worked. I moved on :) cheers Chris Maunder

Do realize that Kim making Hump into a laughing stock and China's greatly increased influence since the moron took office are not important. Or the increasingly polluted air/environment in the US. The biggest monthly trade deficit in history - so that's how his tariffs are working out (hint to his idiot supporters: the tariffs (taxes on US citizens) are not part of the deficit tally.   Soybeans, anybody? So big deal - he talks about airports in the 18th century - and then blames it on his teleprompter and the rain. Compounding stupidity isn't a crime (in his case, it should be). And remember - we don't need no stinkin' allies!
