Fix text encoding issues for special characters #294

Closed MDeLuise closed 3 months ago

MDeLuise commented 3 months ago

Hey Plant-it community!

What's new?

This PR fixes #196, i.e. addresses the text encoding issues reported by users, where Greek letters and special characters were being displayed incorrectly (often as gibberish or symbols) when saving and displaying plant names or other textual data.

Why is it important?

Ensuring proper text encoding across the app is crucial for providing a consistent user experience, especially for users entering plant names or other data in non-Latin scripts, such as Greek. Additionally, fixing this encoding issue will improve the handling of special characters, including monetary symbols, which were previously causing errors when editing and saving plant details.

How to Use?

This fix is applied at the system level, ensuring that all text data processed and displayed by the app is properly encoded in UTF-8. No additional actions are required from users.

Notes

This fix should resolve the issues related to text encoding, but if you encounter any further problems with character display or saving, please let us know.



Cheers and happy planting! 🌿🌼
