upgrade captions to graphics - Encoding issue

Hi!

When I use the "upgrade captions to graphics" it does a weird thing with te text encoding.

It works fine, but when i try to read te text from a script i get an ascii character.

app.project.activeSequence.videoTracks[3].clips[1].components[2].properties[0].getValue();

return: ƌ

I need to copy and paste the text (using getValue() and setValue() from a script) to a different mogrt but it doesn't work.

Is there any way to convert that string using extendScript?

Thanks a lot!
