Some characters not correctly decoded ? #59

Closed gordielachance closed 7 years ago

gordielachance commented 7 years ago

Hi, is it possible that the characters “ ” are not correctly decoded ?

Krato commented 7 years ago

Yes. This is giving me an error too.

neitanod commented 7 years ago

Not likely. What encoding are you using in the input?

M13K commented 7 years ago

what if you don't know what encoding used in the input. I have a csv file with an unknown charset, then i've applied the Encoding::toUTF8. Unfortunately, it does'nt work...

neitanod commented 7 years ago

ForceUTF8 will process your file correctly as long as it's encoded in Latin1 (iso 8859-1), Windows-1252 or UTF8, or mix of them. ForceUTF8 does not understand other encondings.

Ok, thanks you for the reply! Hope to find what i'm looking for. Good job by the way..

@neitanod supported encodings should be clearly listed in a documentation.

ATM:

You don't need to know what the encoding of your strings is. It can be Latin1 (iso 8859-1), Windows-1252 or UTF8, or the string can have a mix of them. \ForceUTF8\Encoding::toUTF8() will convert everything to UTF8.

Right. I initially wrote it for my own needs but it's probably time to write a better documentation now that the user base has grown. :)
