Re: [twitter-dev] UTF-8 Encoding

[Taylor Singletary]

Hi Jon,

Here's how the characters "öäüõ" should appear when setting status using
Twitter and OAuth:

POST body
 status=%C3%B6%C3%A4%C3%BC%C3%B5

Signature Base String:
POST&http%3A%2F%2Fapi.twitter.com
%2F1%2Fstatuses%2Fupdate.xml&oauth_consumer_key%3Dri8JxYK2ddwSV5xIUfNNvQ%26oauth_nonce%3DCEbZYmjzrAiDr4ycdo158uTAVe14S6T2eot18qJpjbk%26oauth_signature_method%3DHMAC-SHA1%26oauth_timestamp%3D1276090923%26oauth_token%3D119476949-gF0B5O1Wwa2UqqIwopAhQtQVTzmfSIOSiHQS7Vf8%26oauth_version%3D1.0%26status%3D%25C3%25B6%25C3%25A4%25C3%25BC%25C3%25B5

In XML, the text will be returned as:

<text>&#246;&#228;&#252;&#245;</text>


In JSON:

"text":"\u00f6\u00e4\u00fc\u00f5"
