Invalid Arabic/Persian Word appears on the text in flutter

Question

I'm trying to show the correct Arabic/Persian word coming from the api to my Text(). As far as it is english it is coming up fine, but as the language changes it returns something like LATIN1.

I have followed this question to rectify my problem : Invalid Arabic characters With Utf-8 charset Retrived with http.get Flutter

I have a string name coming from the API. It has a bar name as : Bar Beirut - بار بيروت. But in the response, I'm getting the above screenshot.

What I have tried to first encode the string and then decode it, but it not working out.

var encoded = utf8.encode(data['name']);
this.name = utf8.decode(encoded);

So I'm using this.name in my Text(), but it shows up english character and for arabic it shows up LATIN1. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Solution

try the following, it is working for me with Arabic characters

return http.get(Uri.encodeFull(baseUrl), headers: {
      "Content-Type": "application/json",
    }).then((response) {
      return json.decode(utf8.decode(response.bodyBytes));
    });
