Hi, I’m trying to write with `storage`:

```auto

function write(){
  data = {"åäö":"åäö"};
  data = JSON.stringify(data);
  Storage.write("test.txt", data);
}
...

function read(){
  Storage.read("test.txt").then(function(content) { console.log(content); // {"åäö":"å
  });
}

write();

// next time app start user read();

```

It will output `{"åäö":"å` and NOT `{"åäö":"åäö"}`

Anyone have an idea?

Those methods are async. So you are reading the file before it is done writing. You could either rewrite your code to run synchronous:

```auto
Storage.writeSync("test.txt", data);

```

Or you could read the file after the write completes like this:

```auto
Storage.write("test.txt", data).then(function(wasSuccess) {
    if(wasSuccess) {
        Storage.read("test.txt").then(function(content) { console.log(content);
        });
    }
});

```

But I still get `{"åäö":"å` insted of `{"åäö":"åäö"}` ?

If you’re on Windows this is probably due to the unicode bug that was reported before: [https://www.fusetools.com/community/forums/bug\_reports/09857\_introduces\_unicodeutf-8\_issue](https://www.fusetools.com/community/forums/bug_reports/09857_introduces_unicodeutf-8_issue)

This will be fixed in Fuse 0.9.11.
