I've created the correct JSON file, and have uploaded to the app. When the text renders in the app odd characters are appearing and the Spanish accents and punctuation are missing. Don't know what to do. Any ideas on how to solve this? Files are all server side.

My thinking was it came in as a perfectly formed text file with all characters intact and was exported with the characters intact. Will check on changing my device.

Not sure what will happen. I'm guessing it'll either work or cause the characters to disappear! Won't do any harm trying though.
