Re: Wrong UTF-8 string parsing in GWT JSON

Dear Philippe,

Thank you for the post,


>      String response="{ \"test\" : \"\\u00C3\\u0081\\u00C3\\u0089\\u00C5\\u00B0\" }";

> //"���" in UTF-8

No. That's not UTF-8, that's UNC encoding. It results in Java's UTF-16 encoding.

But "\u00C3\u0081" why not UTF-8 encoding?

See: http://www.utf8-chartable.de/

"Á" (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH ACUTE) hexa code is 0xC3 0x81
"\u00xx" in the JSON string is an escaped hexadecimal representation according to  RFC4627 (JSON)
See:
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt

But the character encoding is remain UTF-8, I think.

Regards,
Tibor
