Text displayed differently in HTML5

Question

I am building an HTML5 app that works with iPhone and Android. When I display text in this form:

"the number is between 10%-15% 2. the number between 25%-35% 3.the number between 25%-35%...."

In Android I see it as entered correctly, but in iPhone I see this

"the number is between 10%-15 2.%"

Any ideas how to fix it?

You have not given us a lot to go on but I would investigate the possibility that the encoding of the text is not compatible with iOS (is the file UTF-8 encoded for example). The other possible issue is that the text you display above is being treated as URL encoded.

UTF-8 vs. Unicode

What are the characters that stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding escapes?

So basically you saying replace `%` with `%%` ? – Alex Opent Nov 28 '12 at 21:07
Exactly. See if it works. I can't say for sure if it will but it's worth a try. – redolent Nov 28 '12 at 23:29
