Sending non-English characters to quickbase
Hi - so I understand that I can switch my browser's character encoding settings to UTF-8 in order to view non-English characters in quickbase, so I'm able to manually edit a quickbase field with non-English characters and can view the result that way, but I can't figure out how I can actually send non-English characters to quickbase via the API; they don't turn out correctly even when the browser is displaying in UTF-8.
I'm updating quickbase via node.js's quickbase module, and when I send fields with non-English text and view in UTF-8, SOME of the characters convert correctly, but others display as question marks. By default, this quickbase module sends data to quickbase using ISO-8859-1 encoding, though when I change the charset to UTF-8, the problem gets worse, and ALL the non-English characters go through to quickbase as question marks. I assume there's a way to get all the characters to go through correctly - any thoughts on what I could be doing wrong?
I'm also wondering how I will be able to download user reports (CSVs) with the data displayed in UTF-8...or is that not possible?
Thanks!
