Zeroclickinfo-goodies: Videos: non-ascii characters displayed wrong

[kriman]

Description

Non-ascii characters not displayed correctly as the example shows.

It's only happens when the instant answer is triggered by Javascript.

Steps to recreate

Type something in the search field which has non-ascii characters in it and can trigger the Videos IA (in my example "Számítógép szétszerelése". When you reload the page the characters displayed correctly (that's why I think it's related to Javascript). If you load this link it's correct and if you click on the search again it's wrong.

@bsstoner @pjhampton I don't think this is something that the community can resolve, isn't the videos tab in the closed-source side of the house?

@minsoft Yes, I tried fixing it yesterday. It turns out, even on first trigger the query parameter in API response has ASCII issues although it is not shown as search term at that time.
