UI5 - special characters in controls

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to use special characters and umlauts like "€, ä, ü, ö" in strings for UI5 controls (as titles, labels ...), but they are not displayed correctly.

I tried to write them HTML encoded: € ä .... 

I defined the character set in my html file following: "charset=UTF-8"

I tried to use different browsers, with different encoding settings.

... but nothing worked for me.

It would be great if anybody can help me to display them in the right way.

Regards,

Hannes

Please add this meta header to your index or html page.

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8"/>

Could you check if using unicode code works? \u<<Code>>

If not you could change the encoding file setting on your IDE.

Kind regards

Hi Hannes,

I had the same problem..

You could use \u00e4- for  ä, \u00fc  for  ü and search similar Unicode for other special characters.

Hello Hannes,

i had the same problem. Here's my solution:

First: In index.html change the content-type in header by entering <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8"/>



<!DOCTYPE HTML>


<html>


    <head>


        <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">


        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8"/>


        <script src="resources/sap-ui-core.js"


                id="sap-ui-bootstrap"


                data-sap-ui-libs="sap.ui.commons, sap.ui.table, sap.ui.ux3"


                data-sap-ui-theme="sap_goldreflection">


.......

Second: Now you've got to set the encoding of your editor to UTF-8, too

In Eclipse go to Window/Preferences/General/Workspace and change the text file encoding to " Other UTF-8"

Now you are able to write these special characters plain in the text and they should displayed correctly in the browser, too.

Hope that will help.

Best wishes

Kai
