Converting array buffer in string

Question

I am stuck in converting arraybuffer to string in typescript (angular 4 project). Any help is highly appreciated.

Code output is showing string but with this sign - �

Required Output :

PROGRAM "Digitala †rsredovisningen"

Getting Output :

PROGRAM "Digitala �rsredovisningen"

  
ab2str(arraybuffer) {
        return String.fromCharCode.apply(null, new Uint8Array(arraybuffer));
      }

Solution

You should try something like this:

function uintToString(uintArray) {
    var encodedString = String.fromCharCode.apply(null, uintArray),
        decodedString = decodeURIComponent(escape(encodedString));
    return decodedString;
}

Maybe this will help:

Thank you @Zinc , but Uint16Array shows output something like 䘣䅌䝇⁁ਰ倣佒則䵁∠楄楧慴慬蘠獲

function ab2str(buf) { return String.fromCharCode.apply(null, new Uint16Array(buf)); } - Same code I am using, It is not working

Can you post a codepen, a jsbin or similar with an example of your issue so we can help?

I just found - String.fromCharCode.apply(null, [134]) - this isnt working.
