DataTables Button Semantic UI (Webjars) returning "â–¾" instead of "▾" in CSS for colvis dropdown

Hi there,

I am facing issues when using "/webjars/datatables-buttons/css/buttons.semanticui.css" in my index.html. The UTF char for colvis button content is returning the weird text instead.

This is my index.html header

If I were to use from cdn https://cdn.datatables.net/buttons/2.2.2/css/buttons.semanticui.css there is no issues.
As matter of fact if I used the min.css files the order arrows also face the same issue.

One thing I did noticed if I tried accessing http://localhost:8080/webjars/datatables-buttons/css/buttons.semanticui.css from postman, the character is returned properly.

For now I will revert to using the cdn version, but would be great if someone could help me understand why this is happening.

Thanks,
Raymond

We're happy to take a look, but as per the forum rules, please link to a test case - a test case that replicates the issue will ensure you'll get a quick and accurate response. Information on how to create a test case (if you aren't able to link to the page you are working on) is available here.

Cheers,

Colin

My guess is that your web server isn't serving the file up as UTF8, or something like that. But as Colin says, we'd need a test case really.

i had a similar issue of the sort icon being a-¾, resolved by replacing jquery.dataTables.css with dataTables.bootstrap.css
