ascii char 26

Show all headers | View raw

Anyone know why ASCII char 26 is used in place of a hyphen in UTF-8?

I had to write this function to deal with this:

	public static String convertToAscii(String html) {
		html = html.replaceAll("\u2019", "'");
		html = html.replaceAll("\u201D", "\"");
		html = html.replaceAll("\u201C", "\"");

		byte[] b = null;
		try {
			b = html.getBytes("US-ASCII");
		} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}

		// hyphen replace
		for (int ctr = 0; ctr < b.length; ctr++)
			if (b[ctr] == 26)
				b[ctr] = 45;

		html = new String(b);
		return html;
	}
