web-ui doesn't support UTF-8 values in kv

[gmr]

If I paste a UTF-8 value into the content box in the kv UI for a new key, it will submit the data properly, but when viewing in Chrome or Safari, the value comes back as a different character.

If I extract the value via the API, it comes back as the correct value.

Steps to reproduce:

1. In the Web-UI create a new key called foo with the value of ✈
2. Reload the page, the value will now be �
3. Make a curl request to validate the value: curl --verbose http://localhost:8500/v1/kv/foo
4. Take the base64 encoded value and decode it, which will yield a byte sequence of \xe2\x9c\x88, which in turn can be decoded as the proper UTF character.

Python decoding example:

import base64

print(base64.b64decode('4pyI').decode('utf-8'))

Thanks for this. Looks like this is our problem:

> window.atob("4pyI")
"�"

That decoding isn't working with the value. Tagged as a bug.

web-ui 0.7.5 seems to be handling ✈ and other advanced Unicodes such as 🍺 correctly both in a key and in a value. Debian Chrome 56 and Iceweasel (Firefox) 45.7

Hey there,

We are currently hiring for a full time position to manage the Consul UI. They are going to do a full revamp, so we'll make sure this is included then!
