CSV import results in "replacement characters"

Old Versions
#1

Hello and congrats for your product and support!

I have a problem when importing data from csv files.

My data is in Greek language and always results in "replacement characters" (e.g., ������) in cmdbuild.

Do I have to change encoding when saving the csv file? I already have tried Unicode, UTF-8, ISO, Windows, and more, but with no success.

However, if I enter data in cmdbuild directly (i.e., filling the card form) it can handle the Greek language correctly.

Any help?

Thank you,

Dimitris

Usually when we have this problem we save the CSV files in UTF8 without BOM format (to do this you can use Notepad ++).
