UTF-8 issue #9

Open LienReyserhove opened 5 years ago

LienReyserhove commented 5 years ago

I have the same problem here with the UTF-8 encoding of the taxon core. The encoding of the raw data file is ok, but when exporting it to a .csv and also when viewing it in R, it renders some problems with the encoding. I guess this is the same issue as this issue for the manual of alien plants. I cannot remember if we ever solved this one, although problems with the encoding did not occur for a long time.. I checked for the manual of alien plants, and the UTF-8 issue remains there as well, so I guess we didn't solve the problem yet. @peterdesmet can you fresh up my mind please?

I don't think we solved that issue. I would suggest to ignore it for now (leaving this issue open) and for the final files, to just run it on a Mac or Linux.

LienReyserhove commented 5 years ago

That's what I thougth. Ok, the thing is that it makes it very difficult for me to scan the scientific names for error (groups). But as we are talking about 12000 taxa here, I should probably be not too difficult with the scientific names.

peterdesmet commented 5 years ago

Indeed, would start data cleaning those.

Leaving issue open because data still needs to be run on Mac to solve this.
