Possibly unicode output in platform/mission values

[dbussert]

I found this output in some files I tested with jmisb_example, and I noticed because a JSON parser failed to read the value

"PlatformDesignation": "^^�^H^@^@^@^@^BU�^A^@�^A^A�^D^@^@^@^@�^D^@^@^@^@�^D^@^@^@^@�^H^@^Ek=^\��"

"MissionId": "^N�^H^@^@^@^@^@\�^?�^A^@�^A^A�^D^@^@^@^@�^D^@^@^@^@�^D^@^@^@^@�^H^@^Ek=^^���"

I think it's unicode, but I'm not entirely sure what it is. The whole file parses fine otherwise.

Doesn't really look like UTF-16. Are those the only two values you see it in?

Also, can you say what the ST0601 Version is reported as for this file?

I'll have to check next week, I didn't write down the file name and now I'm not sure how to replicate

Can you (manually, if necessary) apply these changes and show a small example of the result?

(Hopefully you're familiar with the syntax. If not you add the three lines that are marked with + to api/src/main/java/org/jmisb/api/klv/st0601/UasDatalinkFactory.java and do a rebuild.)

@dbussert Did you have a chance to look at this?

Unfortunately I cannot find the file that caused this in the first place. I saw it on one pared output, but I moved on and can't replicate again. I might have to reopen if I come across it again
