Does the tree support UTF-8 encoding?  The reason I ask is because my project requires storing Chinese character encoded in UTF-8.  I’ve tried to save Chinese character in “userdata” but shows gibberish in later retrieval.  I’m expecting it to show \uxxxx for each character in my output text file. 

The dhtmlxTree is a pure html component so it must work with any browser encoding. To work correctly with UTF you need to do next:

 

a) Set page encoding to UTF

b) Be sure that XML has correct header

            <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

c) Enable utf escaping

            tree.setEscapingMode("utf8");
