Description
Expected behaviour
The file should be displayed like this:
# 📥 Inbox
- foo là bar
- éê
- (éparer légale)
Actual behaviour
It is displayed like this:

Steps to reproduce
- Download testfile.zip
- Unzip it and add it to a folder in your Nextcloud
- View the file from the iOS app
Reasoning or why should it be changed/implemented?
Viewing the file in Vim, VSCode, or Nextcloud on the web works as expected.
The iOS app should display it the same way.

Research direction
Start by downloading testfile.zip, adding the unzipped file to Nextcloud, and opening it in the iOS app on the reported versions. Compare the rendered text with Vim, VSCode, or Nextcloud on the web, focusing on the handling of accented characters and emoji. Done means the file displays the expected text in the iOS app.
