In my case, News servers return strings including spanish puntuation like accents, letter ñ and others. How I can change the decoding to include those characters?

Thanks!

Those characters are not supported by the fonts in the scroller software. They are purposely removed when they show up.

Hi @Qrome, I've found a conversion routine inside the NewsApiClient.cpp file, but, if this is the way that "special characters" are changed, it is not working for me.
