Azure AD B2C Custom policy - translations encoding issue

Hi. We have Azure AD B2C configured with custom policies including custom email verification. In our policy we have provided translations for a number of strings. E.g. "success_send_code_msg". Such message is injected into the sign up page via window.CONTENT variable. It seems the encoding is incorrect. This is how the message looks like:
"success_send_code_msg":"En verifikationskod har skickats till din mailadress. Kopiera koden till fältet nedan."
As you can see the letter ä is UTF encoded and appears exactly as ä in the UI.

Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug? Is there a workaround for that?
Thanks.

Hello @mikhailsmal-8890. This could be related to the page layout version you're using. Try using the latest (2.1.0). You can find them appended in the ContentDefinition DataUri value. EG:

<DataUri>urn:com:microsoft:aad:b2c:elements:globalexception:2.1.0</DataUri>

Same problem here, we have Azure AD B2C with custom policies we have this message

 Le code de v&#233;rification a &#233;t&#233; envoy&#233; &#224; votre bo&#238;te de r&#233;ception. Copiez-le dans la zone de texte ci-dessous.

It looks like the strings saved in the Javascript SA_FIELDS variable are incorrectly encoded

 "success_send_code_msg":"Le code de v&#233;rification a &#233;t&#233; envoy&#233; &#224; votre bo&#238;te de r&#233;ception. Copiez-le dans la zone de texte ci-dessous."

Hi anonymous user-msft, thanks for your answer.

We have the following DataUri in that ContentDefinition:
<DataUri>urn:com:microsoft:aad:b2c:elements:contract:selfasserted:2.1.0</DataUri>

Isn't it correct?

If you're using a self asserted tehcnical profile yes it's correct.

As you can see we have the latest version. Apparently, that's not an issue

Same problem here...
While waiting for a fix, I wrote the following javascript to hide the issue. This might help some fellow Frenchmen.

  $(document).ready(function() {
                     const targetNode = $("#emailVerificationControl");
                     const config = { attributes: true, childList: true, subtree: true };
        
                     const callback = function(mutationsList, observer) {
                         if(targetNode.html().includes("&amp;#233;")) {
                             var replaced = targetNode.html().replace(/&amp;#233;/g, 'é');
                             targetNode.html(replaced);
                         }
                     }
        
                     const observer = new MutationObserver(callback);
                     observer.observe(document.getElementById("emailVerificationControl"), config);
                 });
