Problem displaying french characters in dynamic text.

[ZigDaPig]

I'm have been looking at this problem for hours now,
but I can't seem to solve it so please have a look at this:


When I read in the following variable from a text file:

&RefText=%7E %A5 %E9&

And I display it in a dynamic text field as follows:

_level0.ContentText.htmlText = _level0.RefText;


I only get to see:

~ ¥

instead of

~ ¥ é

Even when I explicitly add the é character to the list of characters to be embedded, it won't work.


When I put this in the text file:

&RefText=é&

it also doesn't work.

The ONLY way I can get the dynamic text to show the character, is
by doing this:

_level0.ContentText.htmlText = "é";

But that's not very useful to me...


Any help would be great !

I don't know much about XML, but you might try changing your char-set

Re-save the text file with the accentuated letters normally type in the text file as such, as UTF-8.

I'm dealing with a simialar problem, is that like in notepad, where it gives you the encoding type, which default is ANSI, in that drop down?

Can't really say, 'cause I'm on ME, and ME's Notepad can't save as UTF-8, but it seems most other OS's after ME can!
