I have a database configuration table that holds the rupee symbol &#8377.

when my page loads a java class reads this value using jdbc from the sql server database and using xslt transformation displayed in a table.

there are no issues with the $ UK pound symbol etc, but rupee will not display. In the table I see that the value &#8377 is displayed and when I view the source I see that the text has been escaped to &#8377.

If I edit the source in chrome and change &#8377 back to &#8377 it displays fine, I'm trying to work out how to prevent this escaping from occurring.

I have tried to escape the & with \&#8377however this is still encoded to\&#8377.

I have also tried directly sticking the &#8377 into the xslt sheet in line with some text like:

<h2>Some text (&#8377)</h2>

but with this it displays as 'Some text (?)'

There must be a simple solution to this one but I've not found anything so far :(

  • Isn't the Rupee sign ₨ `₨` ? – michael.hor257k Aug 07 '14 at 01:08
  • no 8377, looks like i've found a potential solution within the xslt which is disable-output-excapting="yes". it appears to be working on the initial tests – sapatos Aug 07 '14 at 01:09
  • another possible is but this appears to apply to the whole document which is not what i want – sapatos Aug 07 '14 at 01:10
  • It would help seeing an example of your input and your stylesheet (including the header). -- To add the sign with no relation to the input, try: `

    Some text (₹)

    ` (note the closing semicolon).     – michael.hor257k Aug 07 '14 at 01:11
