Umlauts not displayed correctly

Hi,

We have developed a screen in 12.1 and the umlauts (German & Spanish) are not display correctly. Is there a language pack / custom actions we need deploy for this to work properly?

Regards,

Chanti.

Can you be a bit more specific?

Its those special characters with a pair of dots on their head, like ä etc. These are not being displayed properly in the Web UI screens after upgrading to 12.1.

These special characters are coded in the alert/warning/error messages in a .js file. Two things here -

i) When we did the migration from 11.5 to 12.1, those got transformed to a [] (read squarebox) sorts. Are these something that the migration tool can't handle as desired?

ii) We fixed these characters manually in the code in 12.1. But when we run the script they are still not displayed correctly in the Web UI, for instance ä is being displayed as A~, something like that. Wondering if we need to deploy some custom actions or add a line at the top of .js or .html code?

Regards,

Chanti.

Try including this in your web page head section (meta tag removed for forum post):
