HTML characters are parsed (why?)

See original GitHub issue

Hi there,

Is it possible that react compiler turns html characters (like <) inside a React code into literal characters, when compiled, causing problems when opened in a browser. Is there a way to fix it?

@onion-soup Ah, it’s also worth knowing that you can do <script charset="utf-8">, if you’re unable to use utf-8 as document charset.

PS. Correct is <meta charset="utf-8">, also unless you’re using XHTML you should (technically) not be using the self-closing slash.

Yes, the issue was that my browser somehow set the encoding to ‘ISO’. I believe forcing the encoding with <meta charset="utf8"../> will solve the issue. Thanks!
