Java: How to remove  character appearing before £



Whenever I print or write the £ symbol , or even do anything with it, it is always displayed as £ with no reason for the  to be there. I have tried writing the character in unicode but it still resulted in this weird combination. Is there any way to remove this or stop it happening?


public class GenericClass

public static void main(String args)

System.out.println("£");




This is all that is printed:

Where are you printing it? It could be the screen/tool etc can't handle unicode properly.

Just to the command line, that isn't the issue because it won't work when I just System.out.println() it.

public class GenericClass public static void main(String args) System.out.println("£".substring(1)); What does this produce for you?

public class GenericClass public static void main(String args) System.out.println("£".substring(1));





That works well, ill research substring and see how i can apply that to where I need it. Thanks

@Dr3amer17 this is one of those cases where I wish StackOverflow allowed downvoting of comments. What you propose is just plain wrong. The fact that it works at all means the £ is not encoded as expected when compiled. And your proposal fails miserably for Unicode characters that are encoded in UTF-8 in such a way that the value of the 2nd byte does not match the value of the codepoint that is being encoded. The real solution is to fix the encoding, not work around it.

Your source file is probably UTF-8 and as such, treats £ as two 8-bit characters : £



For portability, you have to use escaped unicode sequences in your string literals like this.


public class GenericClass

public static void main(String args)

System.out.println("u00A3");

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Firebase Auth - with Email and Password - Check user already registered I want to check when a user attempts to signup with createUserWithEmailAndPassword() in Firebase user Authentication method, this user is already registered with my app. createUserWithEmailAndPassword() 8 Answers 8 To detect whether a user with that email address already exists, you can detect when the call to createUserWithEmailAndPassword () fails with auth/email-already-in-use . I see that @Srinivasan just posted an answer for this. createUserWithEmailAndPassword () auth/email-already-in-use Alternatively, you can detect that an email address is already used by calling fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() (previous called fetchProvidersForEmail() ). fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() fetchProvidersForEmail() When the user trying to create an user with same email address, the task response will be "Response: The email address is already in use by another account." mFirebas

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Dynamically update html content plain JS So I have a script bound in my index.html, which literally has to fetch an array of jsons from an api, then dynamically update my page when get response. But as a result I'm getting an as the only update of my page. here is my script fetch(url) .then((resp) => resp.json()) .then((resp) => resp.results.forEach(item => fetch(item.url) .then((response)=> response.json()) .then((response) => pokeArr.push(response)) .catch(console.log) ) ).catch(console.log) const filler = () => if(!pokeArr) return 0 pokeArr.map((i,j)=> return `<tr>$i.name</tr>` ) const pokeindex = () => document.getElementById('a').appendChild(document.createElement(filler())) pokeindex() When I'm consoling it, I can see in the console all the responses I get, so I'm at least doing the fetching part right. What's parberakan ? What's pokeArr ? – T.J. Crowder Aug 8 at 12

How to determine optimal route across keyboard

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP How to determine optimal route across keyboard I'm trying to automate the typing process in a video game. Players are given an on-screen QWERTY keyboard layout that they can navigate with the control stick (up, down, left, right) in order to select a letter to type. I was wondering if there was a module for Python (or some other resource I could explore) that would help my program find a path across the keyboard as it types each letter in a given message. In other words, if the first letter typed was "A" and the next letter was "B", the module would know that the program should move 1 space down on the keyboard and 4 spaces to the right. Currently, I have the program resetting to the "G" key after each letter is typed (allowing me to use fixed-directions as the program parses each character in the desired message). As you can imagine, this is quite inefficient and defeats the purpose of automating the typing in the fir
