UTF-8 Encoding Regarding Languages

Hello,

I am using the “Simple Tooltips” plugin and was notified by one of my web editors who is having issues with Khmer language text. The issue is that the tooltips is not recognizing the characters that is used to force a line break and instead, inserting spaces between the text. We don’t have that issue with the text WordPress main editor, only the text inside of the tooltips shortcode. My first question to you is the javascript file produced encoded using UTF-8? It could be the reason why the khmer text . I looked around the code the Simple Tooltips plugin creates and don’t see any reference to UTF-8. Can you please confirm if it does or doesn’t? If not, can this adjustment be appended to the plugin?

Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you
