Hey,

I’m using a textArea to load dynamic text from a .txt file, the textArea is set to render as html, however, my site is in English and French, but when I try to load French text, containing characters like à or é, etc, those characters are rendered with this character: �

Anyone ever use special characters loaded from a .txt file?

Arrrrrgggghhhhh!
