Problem with special characters when importing a database

Problem: When importing the database, it replaces some letters with special characters.



Solution

This problem is due to the coding of the document, we always recommend it to be UTF-8 without BOM.


In case you already have your file you can fix it this way:

  • 1) Open the .csv file in Notepad++
  • 2) Click on "Encoding" and then select "Convert to UTF-8 without BOM".
  • 3) Ready.
