    Bad encoding on characters from json

    Im using the json checkbox, but having trouble with danish characters getting "mangled" somewhere between the json and the umbraco ui...

    My code:

    The json enter image description here The UI

    enter image description here

    Is this a bug, or how can i avoid it?

    Hi Claus,

    Dang! That looks like the good old "typed and saved as UTF-8 but being displayed by a webpage that claims ISO-8859-1" encoding problem...

    If you're not using the Custom Labels feature, you probably have to take a look at the source to check if somewhere in the pipeline, someone's taking a shortcut, encoding-wise :-)

    The strange thing is if i copy the generated json and put it in a static text file, and use that as a source, it works fine. So one would have the suspicion, that its the encoding of the view... Can i force that to be utf-8 encoded?

    You should be able to, yes - most texteditors give you the option when saving as UTF-8, to include the Byte Order Mark (BOM - a couple of bytes that start the file) - e.g., in TextMate I get this dialog:

    I've fixed some issues with Masterpages that way before, so probably works...
