What is the coding in GEO-JSON? UTF-8 or Unicode or something else? I use Json Id column for description of the elements.
I cannot recode German special letters as ä,ü,ö …
example “Daten sind nur zum Test → Bitte löschen” is in JSON “Daten sind nur zum Test → Bitte l\u0246dschen”. (it means in English “Data is for testing only → Please delete”)
Hi Holger,
Classic predates UTF-8, or there is just an encoding bug somewhere.
I have been thinking about modernizing Classic, but not sure if people will find that useful.
Cheers,

I think, the coding in JSON ID is different from UTF-8. I’m looking in the database directly after receiving the data in WordPress with Rest-API endpoint. And in WordPress I cannot find any way to convert (see example-> JSONWP2 – Data viewer of CyberTracker JSON Data "Spurenjagd" … in some column headers and also in content) By the way: in text edit control it works. And only the special characters are touched: for German: ä, ü, ö, Ä, Ö, Ü.
According to “modernizing Classic” it would be good to share your ideas to the users before … I guess.

I have added the following code in my function of table view:
return str_replace(
[‘\u0228d’, ‘\u0246d’, ‘\u0252d’, ‘\u0223d’, ‘\u0176d’],
[‘ä’, ‘ö’, ‘ü’, ‘ß’, ‘°’],
$text
);
