I am processing a lot of CSV files that have people data and occasionally names are used non-alpha numeric characters like á and those all become � symbols in the datatable. How do i prevent this problem ? I just wanna leave all the names as they are in the file without making any changes.
Thanks,
L
The most common reason for this is that it is actually encoded in ISO-8859-1 and interpreted as UTF-8. For less common reasons, the same principle applies, that is, something is in different encoding that it claims to be.
