Hi… sorry once again to disturb you with this topic but I still haven’t been able to package for HTML5 or even launch it. This is end log I am getting. Is there any possible way I can handle this? Thank you!

I believe the issue here is that some of the content in the asset directories of the project contains UTF-8 characters that are outside the ASCII range. A list of 7 bit ASCII characters can be found e.g. at http://www.nyu.edu/projects/farbood/2618/docs/ascii.pdf .

The bug is not in Unreal Engine 4, but looks like it’s in the underlying Emscripten compiler file packager that UE4 is using. Currently it does not support UTF-8 characters in filenames, but perhaps it might be easy to add such support. Try searching the project content filenames for characters that aren’t present in the above list, and try renaming them to only use the 7-bit ASCII range. If you can find which character the issue is, I can try if I’m able to fix up the file packager to resolve the issue.
