Facebookt text encoding issue

Facebookt text encoding issue

Firstly, thank you very much for adding custom playlist descriptions and art! Sharing my Spotify playlists is one of my favourite things and this is a great way to personalize them further.

 

However, I noticed a small issue when I posted my playlist on Facebook. Apostrophes show up as:

'

It looks like Spotify is passing HTML encoded characters to Facebook instead of UTF-8. Not a huge issue, but probably not that hard to fix either 🙂

Hey @chrisrazor

 

It's not cool that this happens. Just to confirm, is it showing normal on the app? Let us know if the same occurs when posting to Twitter or a different place.

 

If possible, send us the URI of the playlist to take a closer look.

 

Take care 🙂

Hi!

 

I am having the same problem today. It's the same when I try other web locations/services. I've tried to copy/paste standard text + ASCII without any luck.

Are there any fixes (or workarounds) for this?

 

Thanks a bunch!
