aurelia with system.js is not serving up utf-8

I am using Aurelia with system.js as the module loader. If I place the following in an html file:

<div>éèàç</div>

The result that I see in the browser is the following:

����

I know that the html file is being saved as utf-8. The Meta tag specifying utf-8 encoding is there.

Any clues how to fix this?

Solution

  • Turns out my editor was not in fact saving with the UTF-8 encoding, though it was double-byte, which fooled me. Had to do a Save-As in Visual Studio to figure that out.
