string.replace(fromCharCode() , '') cannot replace characters
fromcharcode, javascript
Solution
The character code is actually 255 * 256 + 253 = 65533, so you would get something like this:
xmlData = xmlData.replace(String.fromCharCode(65533)," ");
String `String.fromCharCode(253,255)` is of two characters.
Problem
When I parse the XML, it contains abnormal hex characters. So I tried to replace it with empty space. But it doesn't work at all. Original character : � ``` hex code : (253, 255) ``` code : ``` xmlData = String.replace(String.fromCharCode(253,255)," "); retrun xmlData; ``` I'd like to remove "ýÿ" characters from description. Is there anyone who have a trouble with replacing hex character to empty space? Based on the answers, I've modified the code as follows: ``` testData = String.fromCharCode(253,255); xmlData = xmlData.replace(String.fromCharCode(253,255), " "); console.log(xmlData); ``` but it still shows '�' on the screen.. Do you know why this still happens?
