Retrieving text with accents

[simon.schvartzman]

Hi, I'm using Google Places API in my App and the JSON answer includes accents (I live in a portuguese speaking country), the problem I'm facing is that the response gets unformatted when "enters" the LC environment...

To better explain myself this is the response when the request is submitted from the browser:

And this is when I submit using put URL in LC and show the result in a List Field.

How should I deal with it in order to get the same result in LC?

Help would be appreciated.

You could try to use textdecode() function to convert the complete response.

It tried just with only S√£o Paulo.

Put textdecode("S√£o Paulo","UTF-8") returns the correct spelling.
