It's not support utf8 string?

[PublicWorld]

I try to get the wifi status, but the wifi name cannot be displayed here, it is a Chinese character, is there a way to display it? And I found it can be shown from wifiConnections method, but can't shown in wifiNetworks list.

Thanks!

@PublicWorld … looks that what we see here is inside a browser? Would it be possible, that you pull the master branch from github and inside the project directory run from the command line:

npm run test

Then press x and w to get WIFI connections and WIFI networks and post both results here (as TEXT).

And what I also need: what OS, OS distro/version and systeminformation version you are on? You can just also press y and o and post the result, then I see all I need.

Same result.

my macOS version 13.4

But when I input x, seems the ssid name is normal.

@PublicWorld thank you! So you are running on macOS wich means we are in the UTF8 world by default. In Windows this is a problem but with Unix/Linux we are safe here ;-) And in nodeJS the default encoding in the exec command is utf8.

So we need to see what the underlying command returns back. Can you post the result of:

/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/airport -s -x

Thank you in advance.

Thanks for your response! Please refer to this plist in this zip file, seems I still got the messy string by above terminal command.

@PublicWorld thank you!!!! This helps a lot!So Airport is messing it up and has the wrong decoding here.

BUT: as the SSID Key has the correct name encoded as base64:

5rKh5LqGIFdpRmkg5L2g5bCx5rS75LiN5LqG77yf 
--> 
没了 WiFi 你就活不了？

So I could use this. I am just wondering about the question mark. I this intended?

I am unfortunately offline now for a few days, but I will try to implement this as soon as possible.

Yes, this is the correct Chinese character. You don't have to rush it. Just update this when you have time. Thank you so much!
