Character encoding is a complex topic. Different systems use different character sets and encodings. When a system tries to display a character it does not recognize, it replaces it with an unknown symbol.

Open Source

If you need to convert other characters that are not included in the tool, you can edit the source code. It's pretty simple: simply find the character you want to replace and add its corresponding HTML code.

2. Ensure correct display: Your emails will look perfect on any device.
3. It is easy to use: Even if you are not a programming expert, you will be able to use this tool without problems.
