I just tried entering "Test ßä" into a dynamic textfield and it rendered fine when published.

Then I tried programmatically assigning "Test ßä" to its .text property at runtime and it still rendered fine.

It looks like your browser is somehow interpreting UTF-16 as UTF-8, but I have no idea how you've managed to make it do that.

Are you using some type of webfont?

Of course not. That wouldn't cause the issue you're having.

add web fonts to use in your dynamic textfield.
