For programming purposes (Objective-C) I need to export Japanese characters as a HTML file from Excel so I can parse data into my project. I'm using Excel 2010. For example:
When I open up the saved HTML file all I can see is a bunch of Unicode characters in place of the actual Japanese characters. Is there a way I can:
- Change settings somewhere in Excel to ensure actual symbols/characters are saved in the HTML file instead of Unicode numbers
- Convert the saved HTML file so that all Unicode characters are converted into actual symbols
Any help appreciated!
I'd enjoy trying to answer this one. It'd be nice if you could provide the actual file. Nitpick: Unicode characters are "actual characters". It's just that your "actual" characters are in some non-universal character set. – Isaac Rabinovitch – 2013-04-22T07:16:00.607
Sure. For example, I would like to see 飯 rather than 飯 in the HTML. I'm new here, what's the easiest way to get you the file? – Tim – 2013-04-22T11:32:57.130
飯 is actually a Unicode character. 飯 (note the semicolon) is an HTML character entity; it's used to enter the Unicode character in a locale that doesn't support it. / To share the file, upload it to a service such as Dropbox and post the link. – Isaac Rabinovitch – 2013-04-22T15:44:51.843
