How do I properly read text files using AJAX (�)

I'm using AJAX to read some text files but some characters aren't loaded correctly therefore showing this ?. It happens with characters like ª, or º and also with all non english characters like ç, é, ã, etc. Is there a way to fix it?

Thanks.

I believe it has to do with how you store the text file.

Try saving it as unicode or utf-8 instead of ansi.

lennaert Thanks! That's exactly it.
