Description
Text Files (.txt) formatted in windows format (ISO 8859) containing german umlauts (ä,ü,ö,ß - Hex code 0xE4 for 'ä') do not load in mobile app. Instead app show blank screen and hangs.
Expected behaviour
Text file should be viewable/editable as in nextcloud web.
Actual behaviour
Nextcloud App hangs
Steps to reproduce
Create a Text in File in Windows Notepad, write some german unmlauts into it (e.g. ä) and save as ANSI coded text file. Upload this to nextcloud. Open in nextcloud app on ios.

Research direction
Reproduce on iOS 14.3 with app version 3.1.0.7 using an ANSI/ISO 8859 text file containing German umlauts, then compare its behavior with the same file in Nextcloud web. Done means the uploaded text file opens and can be edited in the iOS app instead of showing a blank screen or hanging.
