handling French characters like ç

[Bart Slaman]

Hi All,

I couldn't find the anwer on the internet but here is the thing. We have a site where you can change the language.
When I want to change to french it fails because of the ç that gets translated to some rare symbol

is there a way to handle this? Thanks a bunch!

it('should change language to Français', function () {
    page.clickLanguageSelector();
    page.clickLanguage('Français');
    expect(page.languageSelector.getText()).toEqual('Français');
});
