    I built form - filled  with hebrew text.

    When using TEXT AREA field, special characters as Apostrophes, are shown as as code, like: ".

     

    e.g

    שי"ל

    is shown as

    שי"ל

    Hello Yuval
    Unfortunately I could not replicate the same situation:

    Please let us know the form's url and also if you could send us a screenshot it would be helpful, as the forum does not display the code:

    We'll wait for more details to proceed.

    I just tried the Google Drive integration and could not replicate the issue:

    Also the Google Spreadsheet integration:

    Have you tried to check this in a different browser? Please try re-integrating again, let us know what happens.
