Hello jayflexrich!

It seems to me, that you have not a problem of with jqGrid, but you need place in your html page character encoding information. (something like )

Hello jayflexrich!

Probably you forgot to save your html file in UTF-8 fomat. It is not enough to have . You have to encode the file also in UTF-8 format. If you open for example the html file with notepad.exe (under Windows) and save it with “Save As” and then choose UTF-8 encoding option (bottom, in the middle).

Best regards

P.S. If file encoding is not your problem, I'll post a simple code or will place it a one page on my web.
