javascript - Charset encoding for non English characters in javascript

Question

I am getting filename from file obj in javascript and sending the same to server using AJAX.

var uploadFile = document.getElementById("uploadFile");
var filename = uploadFile.files[0].name;

The problem is non English characters found in filename such as 'çõ' and the chars converted to "�". I also set "Content-Type=text/html; charset=UTF-8" in the page.

How can I solve this problem?

Note: This problem occurs only in windows laptops

Answer 1

I solved the problem:

filename = unescape(encodeURIComponent(filename));
