3 years ago The whole point of using UTF-8 is to support these special characters. If the CSV file is UTF-8 encoded and contains special characters they are imported correctly. This is why Archi only supports UTF-8 for importing. From the User Guide:
"If you are manually creating CSV files make sure you save them using UTF-8 format to preserve all special characters. "

Archi Plug-ins
Yes
Operating System
Windows 10
Expected Behaviour
It should prompt a box with an option to select the desirable encoding to import a CSV file to Archi (like "ANSI").
Actual Behaviour
Archi always uses encoding UTF-8 when importing CSVs.
Why this is important
When working with special characters like "á" or "ã", archi can't recognize due to UTF-8 encoding. This could be an important feature for usage with alphabets like portuguese.
