Hi Team,

I am trying to upload documents Using JQuery and REST API and I am able to upload, However when the File Name contains special character such as  em-dash,en-dash, etc.. basically any UTF-8 characters it converts to some weird characters before uploading.

This characters work fine when used chrome, after spending some time investigating I found the below headers needs to be included.

    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=10" />

Unfortunately the issue still exists even after including the headers.

Kindly suggest a solution to resolve the issue.

Regards,

Riyaz

Hi,

According to your description, my understanding is that when you upload the document using Rest API, the file name which contains UTF-8 will convert to some weird characters.

As it works fine in Chrome, I suggest you can check if you have set the valid encording fomat in Internet Explorer.

Here are some troubleshooting steps for your reference:

1. Disable the Auto-Select setting in Internet Explorer.

2. Provide the character set in the HTTP headers.

3. Make sure that the System Locale setting matches the character set of the META tag that is specified in the HTML page.

More information:

Internet Explorer uses the wrong character set when it renders an HTML page

UTF-8 encoding does not work properly with Internet Explorer

Thanks

Best Regards
