[george-vlahakis]

Preconditions

1. Magento 2.14

Steps to reproduce

1. In page layout add widget of type "Catalog Category Link" in content
2. In Anchor Custom Text set the text to be in non-English characters

Expected result

1. Maintain the UTF-8 charset

Actual result

If I change the text inside the editor itself and save the page it works, but when I return the page admin again it throws this error.

Attention

error: error in [unknown object].fireEvent(): event name: tinymceBeforeSetContent error message: Failed to execute 'btoa' on 'Window': The string to be encoded contains characters outside of the Latin1 range.

It looks like we will have to wait for fix: scheduled for 2.1.9
