Special Characters

Is the XML API is designed to accept special characters? If so, how do you use them?

I tried sending through a registration with this as the user name:

Test User 1 1ã 2é 3汉字 4

but the registration page instead showed this as the name:

Test User 1 1Ã£ 2Ã© 3æ±‰å— 4

As you can see, both of the Spanish characters were converted to a duet of special characters, and the Chinese characters were similar converted to a set of symbols. We need to be able to support these foreign characters for our non-English webinars.

Do I just need to change the encoding, is this a change made at the account level, or are special characters just not supported? For reference, my entire API call body is below.

Thanks,

Nicholas

Change your encoding to UTF-8 and you should be able to encode special characters, in UTF8

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Thank you. I tried UTF-8 without success. It resulted in the same character conversion that I saw with the original encoding.

Is your app/tool actually encoding the values into UTF-8 when they are posted to the XML Service URI?

No, it was not. Thank you. This is now resolved.
