[solved] striptagsandcut removes german "Umlaute"

The function flexicontent_html::striptagsandcut removes german "Umlaute" like ö,ä,ü,ß...
It is e.g. used to shorten the introtext in universal module.

mmm, this can only happen if inside your text the characters are not in UTF-8 format but instead they are written as html entities e.g. they are written as ¶¤¼, it seems that your editor is not saving the characters in UTF-8 format, check editors configuration set set encoding to utf-8 or raw ???

Also in file components/com_flexicontent/classes/flexicontent.helper.php try this:

at the top of the function strip_tags() ,try putting:
// Convert entities to characters so that they will not be removed ... by strip_tags, excluding quotes (we want quotes removed)
$text = html_entity_decode ($text, ENT_NOQUOTES, 'UTF-8');

mmm, i committed this i hope it breaks nothing

Thank you,
indeed it was the editor saving these characters as html_entities. I could switch it off in the editors plugin preferences
