utf8 problem in datatable (spanish characters)

Webix JS
#1

Hi,
when i get my values from a datable an send it to server i found problems with the characters example:
this words in descriptions → “ene-> ñ a-> á e->é i->í o->ó u->ú”

i get:
‘description’ => “ene-> \x{f1} a-> \x{e1} e->\x{e9} i->\x{ed} o->\x{f3} u->\x{fa}”,
‘subtotal’ => ‘0.99’,
etc,
etc…
im using webix latest version and webix-mvc-core:
“name”: “webix-mvc-core”,
“version”: “0.2.0”,
“homepage”: “https://github.com/mkozhukh/webix-mvc”,

yes i know is a little old but it works.
i try to activate locale “es” but nothing is working.

any help will be welcome,
Thanks

The similar problem can occurs if you are mixing encodings ( using iso-8859-1 and utf in the same time )

Data is escaped before sending to the server side. By default the encodeURIComponent, but you can fall back to escape which is less intrusive

   save:{
       escape:true,
       url:"some.php"
   }

Also, be sure that fields in a database have the correct collation ( wrong DB collation is the main reason of problems with umlauts )
