JsonUtility.fromJson won't work with german Umlauts ä ü ö

Questions & Answers

Hey Guys,
I’ve been programming a questionnaire creation tool using json files as specification. It works fine with english but as soon as I add those damn german Umlauts (ä, ö ,ü), fromJson just spits out null. I’ve tried to read up on encoding but could’nt solve my problem on my own. Any help is much appreciated
Here is my basic setup:

public List<TextAsset> jsonFiles;
private Questionnaire questionnaire;

.

questionnaire = JsonUtility.FromJson<Questionnaire>(jsonFiles*.ToString());*

.

[Serializable]
public class Questionnaire
{
public string title;
public string id;
public Question[] questions;
}

[Serializable]
public class Question
{
public string questiontype;
public string instructions;
public bool multipleChoice;
public string id;
public int numberButtons;
public string question;
}
Where questionnaire returns null when confronted with Umlaut-filled .json.
Can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance!

Oh nevermind. I just found my mistake:
I didn’t save the file in unicode encoding but in western european (as defaulted by Visual Studio).
For anyone having the same stupid problem: ‘save as’ and choose ‘save with encoding’, then choose your encoding.
Cheers mates

PS: Encoding working with JsonUtility is UTF 8
