    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    How and in what format are you exporting the table? Where do you then see that wrong character?

    Regards,
    Tobias

    I do apologise, I think it is Excel that is the problem!
    I have looked at it in Notepad and it is OK

    I have to do all this palaver in Excel:
    Open Microsoft Excel 2007.
    Click on the Data menu bar option.
    Click on the From Text icon.
    Navigate to the location of the file that you want to import. …
    Choose the file type that best describes your data – Delimited or Fixed Width.
    Choose 65001: Unicode (UTF-8) from the drop-down list that appears next to File origin.

    Hi,

    yes, that explains it. Excel for some reason doesn’t take into account the character encoding when opening a file by “double-click”. It’s then necessary to go though the procedure that you describe.

    Best wishes,
    Tobias
