RE: [docbook-apps] nbsp symbols in XHTML output

The problem is probably with your web server 
configuration. See the section "Odd characters in HTML output" 
here:

http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/SpecialChars.html

 

If you're using Apache, you can either edit httpd.conf 
to change the config for AddDefaultCharSet or try add the following line to a 
file named .htaccess (create it if necessary) place from which you serve up your 
content (e.g. ~username/public_html):

 

AddDefaultCharSet UTF-8

  [docbook-apps] nbsp symbols in XHTML output

  

I am writing documentation using object oriented tags for lists of 
  classes and methods.  In the XHTML output in Internet Explorer, all of 
  the areas where there are   or   in the XSLT appear as the 
  following symbol, Â 
  .  This does not happen in Firefox.  Is this a common problem?  
  Is there an easy solution to remove the symbols?  I am using DocBook 5.0, 
  Saxon, XEP. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
