Getting symbols in links!

I am currently trying to get the following symbols in <a href> links and they are appearing as small sqaure boxes instead - they appear fine in normal text:

ö and ü

Is there something i need to do with a &code or something instead?

Thanks

Andy

yes google it :) you could have got something like this
http://www.webmonkey.com/reference/special_characters/

for the first you need to use: &Ouml;

and for the second you need to use: &Uuml;

hope this helps

The “Umlauts” are case sensitive by the way. So &Ouml; will generate a capital “Ö” while &ouml; will generate a small “ö”. same goes for all the others. And in case you need it: ä = &auml; :D

However, I seem to recall that the UTF 8 character set includes those letters already so you might wanna check the character set in the meta section of your document:

<meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8; />
