fetch(). Answer with Unicode Character. How to "decode"?

Question

JavaScript

Hello.

I make a request to a server (not mine) using fetch().
This is how I get the answer:
await response.text();
The answer contains: blotches jQuery + html layout + useful information about the movie. In the response (Latin and Cyrillic, which is represented by Unicode Character. A small piece \u0417\u0430\u043a\u0440\u044b\u0442\u044c) I

assign the response to a variable to parse the information using jQuery, and here the problems begin, because js does not perceive characters \uXXX.

tried

decodeURIComponent(await response.text());
JSON.parse(await response.text());

also received the response as response.arrayBuffer() and then used TextDecoder(), but all without success.

at the same time, if you manually assign the value "\u0417\u0430\u043a\u0440\u044b\u0442\u044c" to the variable and display this variable via alert(), then everything is fine, the text is displayed correctly ("Close").

I suspect the problem is in how fetch() provides the response.

Answer 1

Look in what encoding the server gives you a response, to do this, open the browser console, go to the Network tab and take a screenshot of the received headers, then upload it here.

Answer 2

For JSON.parse, you need to surround such a string with double quotes in order to form the correct JSON.

const encoded = '\u0417\u0430\u043a\u0440\u044b\u0442\u044c';
const decoded = JSON.parse('"' + encoded + '"');
console.log(decoded); // Закрыть
