thanks for testing!

I think I found the culprit:
In the Datagrid Library in the handler -> setprop dgColumnLabel [pColumn] pValue
Line 6094:
...
if the platform is "macos" then put "mac" into theColsA[pColumn]["encoding"]
...

If I change "mac" to "utf8", the header look fine in the simulator!
Did not test the windows encoding, but should surely also read "utf8"

Will file a but report later today.


Best

Klaus
