UTF-8 characters returned from Search and Promote sho...

When using Search and Promote integration with AEM, certain UTF-8 characters are returned in results (XML) as garbled characters. Text is visible correctly in Search and Promote data view report with proper UTF-8 encoding.

I have added the charset as UTF-8 in both custom presentation and transport templates. Any idea why the text in XML response is not having proper encoding.

TestPresentation.tmpl

<guided-content-type-header content="text/xml; charset=UTF-8" />
<guided-xml-decl charset="UTF-8">

TestTransport.tpl

<guided-content-type-header content="text/xml">
<guided-xml-decl charset="1">

Try adding sp_cs=UTF-8  parameter to the URL e.g  http://stage-xxxxxx.guided.ss-omtrdc.net/sp_staged=1&sp_q=*&sp_cs=UTF-8

Hi Albin, I have tried it already, but no luck

Any other tags which I can add in transport template to get rid of this charset issue. I tried this snippet in transport template.

<guided-content-type-header content="text/xml;charset=UTF-8">
<guided-xml-decl charset="UTF-8">
