Decode the special characters in page title of product

HarshiManju · ‎10-11-2022

Hi,

I would need to decode the special characters of my page title. The product page is perfectly fine already. However, I would need for page title.
Example:

Input: Combat By test Example
Expected Output: Combat By test™ Example

I've used the below code to decode the page title. However, it doesn't work.

page: theme.liquid

<title>{{ page_title | url_decode }}</title>

Thanks

If these titles are being output for <html> content the entities should just work.

url_decode is for percent encoded characters for usage with URLS.

And not for html-entities for usage in <html> tags ;which oddly liquid does NOT support.

If you must convert a lot of strings like this using liquid you'll basically have to make a big case/when statement doing string matching to return the desired string output. If performance minded be sure to test that snippet with the liquid profiler extension.

Though you may be better off changing strings at the source depending on what is trying to be achieved.
