Error when using Chinese in tokens

[Benson]

Hi, 

I am using trial version of UI pro, and this error appears only in IOS, while work well in Android.

it has no problem when i add Chinese text in a token, the pop up list showing suggested labels also works correctly.

But When a token is selected, it shows mis-decoded text in the TextView,

onTokenAdded also is triggered, however args.token is null when the text is Chinese.

Any suggestion how to solve this?

Thanks

Ben

The code snippets are:

******* js ********

    var titles = [
            "How I Met Your Mother S01E01",
            "How I Met Your Mother S01E02",
            "老爸老媽浪漫史 S01E01",
            "老爸老媽浪漫史 S01E02",
        ];

    for (var i = 0; i < titles.length; i++) {
        var token = new autocompleteModule.TokenModel(titles[i]);
        token.id = titles[i];
        items.push(token);
    };

 

exports.onTokenAdded = function(args){
    alert(JSON.stringify(args.token));
}

    pageData.set("items", items);

    ****** xml *******

       <au:RadAutoCompleteTextView 
        items="{{ items }}" 
        completionMode="Contains"  
        layoutMode="Wrap" 
        displayMode="Tokens" 
        suggestMode="Suggest"
        tokenAdded="onTokenAdded" 
        tokenRemoved="onTokenRemoved"
        >
