Asp.net Sitemap files and special characters
Hi
I have set up site navigation using the sitemap xml files and all is well... except for 1 tiny detail.
I am trying to get the trademark symbol (™) to show on one of the navigation buttons. I have entered the button title text followed by the ™ character code in the title section of a <sitemapnode>. However the symbol is not appearing - only a square box.
Anyone know whats going on?

Yes, it's bacause your sitemap is probably encoded in utf-8, and support for 127-159 varies from characterset to characterset.
Windows-1252 and will cause you problems in almost any other character set and should never be used in HTML. You should use the Unicode value, that is ™ in decimal notation.
