I'm trying to write text to file but when there are special characters they look strange, example below:

On code "TESTING SPECIAL CHAR Ç É ção normal é e."
On file "TESTING SPECIAL CHAR Ç É ção normal é e."

Part of code bellow:

Code: Select allString bootout;
bool fsmount = LittleFS.begin();
  if (fsmount) {
    bootlog = true;
    bootout = "TESTING SPECIAL CHAR Ç É ção normal é e.";
    File f = LittleFS.open("bootlog.txt", "w");
    if (f) {
      f.println(bootout);
      f.close();
    }
  }

Both with String and with char[] the problem happens.

Interesting fact, if I use the arduinojson lib to serialize directly into the file the characters come out correctly.

this is driving me crazy...
Has anyone ever experienced this?

Assumption is the mother of all f*ckups. At least: that's what I'm assuming.
