To fix the issue of data not sending correctly in the Webflow API when it comes to Norwegian language words in the description, you can follow these steps:

Make sure the correct character encoding is set: Ensure that the character encoding for your website is set to UTF-8, which supports a wide range of characters including Norwegian language words. This configuration ensures that special characters in your description are encoded correctly when it is sent via the Webflow API.
Check the request payload: Verify that the request payload you are sending to the Webflow API includes the correct encoding for the Norwegian language words. You can use a tool like Postman or inspect the payload directly in your code to ensure that the data is being sent in the correct format.
Escape special characters: If you are manually creating the API request in your code, make sure to properly escape any special characters in the Norwegian language words using appropriate functions or methods provided by your programming language. This step ensures that the data is sent correctly and interpreted accurately by the Webflow API.
Validate the input data: Validate the input data before sending it to the Webflow API to ensure that it is formatted correctly and follows any specific requirements or restrictions. This process helps identify any potential issues related to the Norwegian language words and allows you to fix them before making the API call.
Test with sample data: Test the API call with sample Norwegian language words and descriptions to verify that the data is being sent correctly. This step helps identify any remaining issues and allows you to further troubleshoot and fix the problem.

By following these steps, you should be able to fix the issue of data not sending correctly in the Webflow API when it comes to Norwegian language words in the description.
