Encoding issues with RSS feed on Newsfeed module

[moreno19]

I’m trying to display a Brazilian new source on the default newsfeed and have a working RSS link, but characters like Ã, É, etc. keep showing up as a diamond with a question mark. The default encoding in newsfeed.js is (encoding: “UTF-8”), and I tried adding this to the default newsfeed parameters in config.js as well. I’m a newbie to .js and think this has something to do with the fetcher.js file, but I’m not sure how to fix it. Any help is appreciated!

@moreno19 can you provide the link to the rss feed?

@moreno19 this works for me

{
  title: "encoding test",
  url: "http://feeds.folha.uol.com.br/emcimadahora/rss091.xml",
  encoding: "ISO-8859-1"
}

@strawberry-3.141 That works for me as well now, looks like I didn’t run across ISO-8859 while I was researching. Thanks for the help!
