Special characters like ΩΦθ are changed to ??? in a UltimateSpell control
Hi Karamasoft Support,

In a UltimateSpell control (with spell as you type turned on), I type ΩΦθ and after a while the characters were changed to ??? and, as not recognized, underlined in red.

There's a way to prevent UltimateSpell to change the "
ΩΦθ" characters to "???" ?

Thanks in advance

How do you type these characters? We copied and pasted from your post into our sample and it didn't replace it with question marks.

We typed these characters (ΩΦθ) using also copy and paste.

Due to our encoding settings (the Western Eurpean ISO-8859-1), we had to modify the UltimateSpell.core.js and UltimateSpell.dialog.js from encodeUriComponent to escape and from decodeUriComponent to unescape, respectively.

We couldn't reproduce this issue in our live demo. It might be caused because you are using escape/unescape methods. By looking at your earlier post at http://forums.karamasoft.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=9451, it seems that we suggested two options and you chose the first one. Have you tried the second suggestion?

Re: Special characters like ΩΦθ are changed to ??? in a UltimateSpell control

Unfortunately, as I mention at the post http://forums.karamasoft.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=9451, we cannot implement the second suggestion, because our site needs the globalization request and response encondings at the web.config set to ISO-8859-1.  The same is valid for the encoding of the HTML itself.

The strange behaviour is that the characters are sent right to UltimateSpell, then they are escaped using s=escape(s), sent to the UltimateSpell.callback.aspx and when the call returns we see that the characters have been changed to ??? and they are underlined, denoting an error with spell as you type.

Is there a way to force to ignore words not written in the characters accepted by the language we set Ultimate Spell to work?

This is really important for us because our site should accept characters like ΩΦθ

Thanks in advance.

UltimateSpell does not have the capability of detecting the characters accepted by the language on the client-side before sending them to the server for spell checking. As you already know escape/unescape methods should be avoided and we can't think of any other ways to resolve the issue without setting the charset attribute in the meta tag in only those ASPX pages that use the UltimateSpell control without making the change globally in web.config file.
