We do on the client side XSL transformationover documents with encoding ISO-8859-1. Works great in IE7and IE8. However, when we run into IE9, IE11the actual conversion works fine, but non-breaking spaces ( "  ") are no longer supported in the conversion.
Instead of inextricable space, it places in " replacement character" (displayed as question mark inside a dark diamond).
If we go to Compatibility Mode, the inextricable space is correctly displayed as part of the transformation. This seems to be a bug in the XSL processor, which is in IE9 - non-breaking spaces must be correctly transformed.
If there is any problem around?
the image shown below is an image of the substitution symbol on IE9and IE11.
