I am using WebView to display a String resource. Here is the code -

 <string name="abc">à</string> <string name="abcd">è</string> 

When I load this into my WebView , it displays some garbage values. How to display these special characters in WebView ??

Check this list of special characters and how to code in html.

 <string name="abc">&#224;</string> <string name="abc">&#232;</string>

If you enter these values ​​into your XML values ​​using a graphical interface, the IDE will automatically format them for you.

Put the character code in the string tag:

 <string name="welcome">Welcome &#33;</string>
