I did some digging, and the implication of this article is that Firefox is not handling UTF-8 in the file names, although as pointed out in the article [1], Chrome’s handling breaks web sites. What does Safari do?

Ok, when I select the file name ABC_ä.png result in Firefox on a Mac: selected file name: ABC_ä.png charcode at 0 = 65 is char A charcode at 1 = 66 is char B charcode at 2 = 67 is char C charcode at 3 = 95 is char _ charcode at 4 = 228 is char ä charcode at 5 = 46 is char . charcode at 6 = 112 is char p charcode at 7 = 110 is char n charcode at 8 = 103 is char g result in Chrome on Mac: selected file name: ABC_ä.png charcode at 0 = 65 is char A charcode at 1 = 66 is char B charcode at 2 = 67 is char C charcode at 3 = 95 is char _ charcode at 4 = 97 is char a charcode at 5 = 776 is char ̈ charcode at 6 = 46 is char . charcode at 7 = 112 is char p charcode at 8 = 110 is char n charcode at 9 = 103 is char g So the ä is in Firefox 228 (which is actually the correct code), but the ä is in Chrome on a Mac 97 (code for the character a) and 776 (code for the 2 dots over the a). This issue occurs even when I don’t embed any font in my app. So how can I solve this? Can I even solve this myself? Maybe it’s a Pepper Player issue. Here is my test-code: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"; xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"> <fx:Script> <![CDATA[ import mx.controls.Alert; private var _refAddFiles:FileReferenceList; private function uploadTest():void { _refAddFiles = new FileReferenceList(); _refAddFiles.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, onSelectFileRef); _refAddFiles.browse(); } private function onSelectFileRef(event:Event):void { for each(var uploadFile:Object in _refAddFiles.fileList) { var dateiName:String = uploadFile.name; trace("selected file name: " + dateiName); var traceAlert:String = "selected file name: " + dateiName + "\n\n"; for(var i:int = 0; i < dateiName.length; i++) { var traceStr:String = "charcode at " + i + " = " + dateiName.charCodeAt(i) + " is char " + String.fromCharCode(dateiName.charCodeAt(i)); traceAlert += "\n" + traceStr; trace(traceStr); } Alert.show(traceAlert); } } ]]> </fx:Script> <s:Button label="upload test" click="{uploadTest()}"/> </s:Application> Am 02.11.2015 um 17:52 schrieb Alex Harui <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>>: Try dumping the charCode for each character in the file name. I wonder if you having some sort of double-byte or code page issue. -Alex On 11/2/15, 8:35 AM, "Marcus Fritze" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Mhm, the font is Verdana. So nothing special. But, when I set the fileRef.name to a TextField the file-name Test_ä.pdf is shown as Test_a.pdf And when I move the cursor after the „a" in the TextField and press backspace, the invisible character will be deleted, when I press backspace again, the „a“ will be deleted. But is my embedded font used when I save the file-name internally and upload the file-name to the server? Maybe, I should test on a older OS X (and not the latest version).
