I am storing a data like this

“Com­mu­ni­ca­tion is often the har­dest part of leadership.”

gaping­void crea­tes ideas and ima­ges SPECIFICALLY for lea­ders: uni­que and crea­tive pre­sen­ta­tion decks, ani­ma­tions and other visual props that help deli­ver mes­sa­ges in unex­pec­ted, memo­ra­ble and more mea­ning­ful ways. These visuals are not only desig­ned to delight and disarm your audience, they’re desig­ned make you and your mes­sage sing, win­ning your audience over, making them want to talk about you and your vision for months to come.

i have used nl2br to retrive the data from database it's displaying the data as i entered bt the issue is observe these examples they’re and memo-­ra­-ble it is displaying as they?re and memo?ra?ble please help in rectifying it.

Add a meta charset tag in html header and sent it to utf-8

<meta charset="utf-8">

and run this before running your query 

mysqli_query($con,"SET NAMES 'utf8'"); //am assuming you are using mysqli

<?php echo nl2br($row_show_shared_info["description"]);?>

it should fix it.

  • you should do it using jquery, don't run one more query for same thing, [see this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5270227/how-to-hide-show-more-text-within-a-certain-length-like-youtube) – Saqueib Jan 23 '15 at 08:37
