06/29/2022, 2:33 PMColdbox i18n question: When including accent characters directly on my cf template, I see the output correctly .. á, é, í, ó, ú, ü, ñ, ¿, ¡
When using a resource file:
{
"hra": {
"intro": {
"accents" : "á, é, í, ó, ú, ü, ñ, ¿, ¡",
...
and #getResource( "hra.intro.accents")# .. my result is ... á, é, Ã, ó, ú, ü, ñ, ¿, ¡
My html includes proper meta utf-8 encoding and have included the <cfprocessingdirective pageencoding="utf-8"> tag.
As I am new to i18n, am I missing something? Thanks
