What character encoding is used in your original file?  Can you provide a 
sample?

One thing you might try is to use the reinterpret function.  If, for example, 
your original file is UTF-8 encoded and Refine incorrectly guessed it was ISO 
8859-1, you could use Cells->Transform and the expression 

  value.reinterpret("utf-8")

to fix things up again.

Never received any data from the original reporter.  Closing again as 
unreproduceable.

@francisc - Please post a query on the email list with what you're attempting

I am also trying to work with á, é, ñ and other characters (Spanish 
alphabet). 

Unfortunatelly Value.reinterpret("utf-8") does not works :(

For example: informático should be informático, this is "á" should be 
"á". I also sí this one: "Ã�". It should show "Á". "ó should be "ó". 
"ía" should be "í", "ñ" should be "ñ", and so on. 

The original file contains correct characters (it is encoded under UTF8). 

Any help will be welcome. Thanks in advance.

I have just found a trick to avoid those bad characters: try copying the 
content to the clipboard, and the create de project in Google-Refine from the 
clipboard (instead of uploading the file). It works.

txarliegarcia,
You can change the encoding at the beginning of the import process, which 
overides the guesser at that point...we provide a button for that, so simply 
choose the UTF8 encoding from the list that displays.  Like Tom says 
up-comment, you can also change the encoding AFTER the import process within 
the data grid using the reinterpret() GREL function.  Use our mailing list for 
help & questions, this is issue tracking, not a general help forum.

When you import a file such as a csv file or text in the lower pane " Parse 
data as " option is the "Character encoding" where select the UTF -8 character 
among others.
see you soon!

#importar archivo de texto CSV #utf-8 #encode # character encoding
