getCSV and special characters

support
1

Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, I’ve been searching for a while but can’t find anything relevant.

I’m trying to use getCSV to create a table, this is working fine however it doesn’t seem to like non-english characters such as German umlauts ö for example. These appear as Sm�gen Whisky in the HTML. Can anyone point me in the right direction here?

Check that your CSV file is encoded in UTF-8.

Cheers for your reply, the file is definitely encoded as UTF-8

I am unable to reproduce this behavior. Can you share your project repository? Privately if you wish.

Also, what do you mean when you say, “These appear as Sm�gen Whisky in the HTML?”

  • In the browser when visiting your live site? Which browser? Which OS?
  • In the browser when running hugo server? Which browser? Which OS?
  • When opening the HTML file in an editor? Which editor? Which OS?

Check the used fonts for containing this characters.

Cheers all, and sorry to be that incredibly unhelpful guy but the issue seems to have corrected itself following a reboot and another build. It was not font related, I’m guessing it was a file format issue and hugo must have been caching/not overwriting the files it was using during build for some reason
