Problem with Response.GetString("UTF8")

[susu]

I want my app to update automatically so I place a text file name "version.txt" on my server with this content:

8|Updátè new fuctión.

Here my code to check update:

Sub Globals
   Dim currentversion As Int : currentversion = 7
End Sub

Sub AutoUpdate
   Dim request As HttpRequest
   request.InitializeGet("http://www.mywebsite.com/version.txt")
   request.Timeout = 8000
    httpClient.Execute(request, 1)
End Sub

Sub http_ResponseSuccess (Response As HttpResponse, TaskId As Int)
   If TaskId = 1 Then   
   Dim result, news, ver As String
   Dim break As Int

      result = Response.GetString("UTF8")
      break = result.IndexOf("|")
      ver = result.SubString2(0, break)
      news = result.SubString(break+1)
      If ver > currentversion Then
           'Sub to update
      End If
   End If
End Sub

It works if the file is ANSI but I need it show Unicode characters so I saved version.txt in Unicode => It do not work anymore. How can I fix this? Please help. Thank you so much.

Will let someone else answer this one.

I think its because you re-posted too soon.
Can you upload the ANSI and Unicode versions of the version.txt?
Also, you said it 'doesnt work' but do you get any errors?
Can you also post the value of 'result' in both cases from the logs?

Thank you thedesolatesoul. I add new line to prove my code works:

result = Response.GetString("UTF8")
      break = result.IndexOf("|")
      ver = result.SubString2(0, break)
      news = result.SubString(break+1)
      Msgbox(news, ver)  ' This is new
      If ver > currentversion Then

With version.txt in ANSI I got Msgbox: header "8", message "-Update new function."

With version.txt in Unicode I got Msgbox: header "??8", message "- U p d a t ?
n e w
f u n c t i ? n ."

It seems the problem is "BOM" of UTF-8. I'll fix version.txt file. Thank you all.
