title: � appears when trying to load text file having German characters in HTML tag using jQuery Ajax call
body: <p>I am trying to load a text file in HTML page. The content of the text file is in German and I see � this symbol for German characters ä,ö,ü. 
  I have used <code>&lt;meta charset="UTF-8"&gt;</code> in the head tag of html page and also tried saving the text file in ANSI and UTF-8 but didn't work. 
  Here is my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$.ajax({
      type: "GET",
      url: lnk3,
      crossDomain: true,
      dataType:"text",
      processData: false,
      xhrFields: {
          withCredentials: true
      },
      error: function(XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) { 
            console.log("Ajax call failed");
      },
      success: function(jsonData) {
          $("#description").html(jsonData);
      }
  
   });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and the HTML Code</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;html&gt;
  &lt;head&gt;
  &lt;meta charset="UTF-8"&gt;  
  &lt;script src="jquery-2.1.3.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  &lt;script src="base64.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;  
  
  &lt;/head&gt;
  &lt;body&gt;   
     &lt;div id="demo3"&gt;
          &lt;button class="bck" onclick="loadFile()"&gt;Back&lt;/button&gt;
  
      &lt;/div&gt;
  
          &lt;div id="description"&gt;
          &lt;/div&gt;
  
  &lt;/body&gt;   
  &lt;/html&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Text file is loaded in div tag with id="description" and the text file that I want to load is stored on sharepoint</p>
  
  <p>Please help me to solve this issue</p>
