AJAX Loading – Some Characters appear as Questionmark Icon

Hi There

I was googling and looking the forums up and down, but can't seem to find a solution for my problem.

I'm loading a JSON file (stored in "Files") via AJAX into a Construct 2 Dictionary. Everything seems to work just fine, but some Characters such as é, à, è, ä, ö, ü do not get loaded correctly.

Instead a diamond shaped Icon with a "?" in it appears. I've tried to set the MIME Type to "text/plain charset=utf-8" before loading the JSON and also before requesting it but it does not seem to help.

From what i can tell the error happens while ajax is loading since AJAX.LastData already contains the wrong characters.

System Information

Construct 2: Release 252 (64-Bit)

Text-Editor: Visual Stuio 2017

Windows 10 Home: Version 10.0.16299 Build 16299

I was hoping some of you experienced the same issue, and could direct me towards a solution.

Try saving the file to disk, open in Notepad, save with UTF-8 encoding, then re-import it to your project.

This worked for me.

Nice, I've used the editor and it worked perfectly. THANK YOU! Should've asked earlier I wasted way to much time on this.

Edit:

Just realized visual studio also gives you the option to save in a specific codec just press the little arrow next to the save button. Anyway thanks again!
