Unflatten from JSON does not work with extended ASCII

[Mirash]

Hi,

I am trying to use Unflatten from JSON with extended ASCII charecters. Apparently it does not work.

My trials are like this,

1)

This does not unflatten and return an error as LabVIEW:  The JSON string is invalid. JSON strings must be encoded in UTF-8 and must conform to the JSON grammar.

2) 

This works and returns the value as 201.

Can anyone help me to understand why my first trial does not work ?

Hello,

When you try your first trial, it doesn't work because the UTF-8 format doesn't support the stress on letters like "é" "è" "à" for instance, that's why it's returning the error as explained in this document.

UTF-8 Encoding Debugging Chart:

Here is a link to help you and see how it converts the stress in UTF-8, this link will allow you to check the syntax of your string using the example providing by shb posted the 12-04-2009.
