Please have a look at this attached screenshot. It is my PhoneGap testing app - taken on a Galaxy S4.
You should see that the bell, bookmark, briefcase, and camera icons (and more) are not displayed as expected.
Here are my observations:
- All icons can be displayed correctly in browsers (chrome, safari), on both PC and mobile devices
- All icons can be displayed correctly in the same app for ios (checked in iphone/ipad, ios7)
The "question mark" can only be seen in an Android app.
Does anyone know the reason why?
It's a problem with the escape sequences. If you can reliably maintain a UTF-8 encoded CSS file, you could override the Bootstrap defaults to use the actual, non-escaped glyphs.
(Depending on your browser, the following code will appear to contain a bunch of boxes. Copying the code and pasting it into a UTF-8 document should preserve the values, though.)
It could be because of mismatch between version of bootstrap min .css file and glyph files.
