Unicode question marks appear all over my web page after editing it with MS Word?
So I needed to do a quick fix on my site (mostly HTML, nothing fancy) when instead of opening the index.html file with notepad I opened it with MS Word. While the site looked normal on Word, after uploading it all I could see were question marks (unicode) between every character in the file. Is there any way of fixing it, and any good explanation to why this happened?

html files are pure text, and have to be edited as such. They should use UTF-8 encoding, and it's possible your Word is treating them differently, like using encoding iso-8859 or Windows 1252 for example. This can cause all kinds of issues when you're importing a text file.

Open the file from Word, so when you are in Word click File, Open and browse to the HTML file and open it. I can't see why it would be any different if you downloaded the web page with a different browser, as the saved file should be essentially the same whichever browser you use, unless you can't find the file because it saved to a different location, in which case press Ctrl + J in the browser to see your downloads menu and find out where the file is saved to.

The quick fix is to reopen it, paste the code into a plain text editor and upload the page again.
