Google Chart title and column name with special characters


The solution for what i am looking should be here. But, when i try to use ASCII character encodings, the ASCII code is actually printed. Any ideas why?

For example, i have the following code on Google Chart Option:

var optionsTotUsers = {
    'title': 'Transaçoes',
    'backgroundColor': 'transparent',
    'height': '300',
    'legend': 'bottom',
    'vAxis': { viewWindowMode: "explicit", viewWindow: { min: 0} }
};

This prints the actual &ccedil on the chart title. If i use the 'ç' it prints out �.


Solution

  • I think this will help you.Using UNICODE you can add special characters to the title. The UNICODE for the special characters is available here.You need to use UNICODE as below.

    var options = {
                    'title': 'Transa\u00E7oes',
                    'backgroundColor': 'transparent',
                    'height': '300',
                    'legend': 'bottom',
                    'vAxis': { viewWindowMode: "explicit", viewWindow: { min: 0} }
    
                };
