Why are the fields filled in Ukrainian in my Webflow RSS feed displaying as random characters and how can this be fixed?
If the fields filled in Ukrainian in your Webflow RSS feed are displaying as random characters, it is likely an encoding issue. This can be fixed by properly specifying the character encoding for your RSS feed.
To fix this issue, follow these steps:
1. Access your Webflow site editor and navigate to the page with the RSS feed.
2. Locate the RSS feed element (such as a Collection list or Dynamic list) that is generating the feed.
3. Select the RSS feed element and access its settings or options.
4. Look for an option related to character encoding or language settings. Webflow usually defaults to UTF-8 encoding, which should support Cyrillic characters like Ukrainian.
5. If the character encoding option is already set to UTF-8, try changing it to a different encoding (e.g., Cyrillic, Windows-1251) and see if it resolves the issue. If the encoding option is not available, move on to the next step.
6. If changing the encoding does not fix the problem, you can manually specify the character encoding by modifying the RSS feed template code. To do this, click on the code embed or custom code element that contains the RSS feed template.
7. Within the code, locate the `
`
This explicitly specifies the character encoding for the RSS feed as UTF-8.
8. Save your changes and publish your site to see if the issue with random characters in the Ukrainian fields is resolved.
If you still encounter problems after following these steps, it is recommended to reach out to Webflow support for further assistance. They can help troubleshoot and identify any additional configuration or code-related issues that may be causing the problem.
