Character Encoding

Hey guys,

Hopefully you can help with this one.

We have a custom post type called ‘Firms’ wherein the post_title is the name of the Firm. When we export the list of firms, any firm with an apostrophe renders the incorrect encoding:

e.g.

Government Actuary’s Department (GAD) becomes…
Government Actuary’s Department (GAD)

Where should we change the encoding type?

Best

Hello Mike,

Thanks for your feedback.
The exported file is always encoded to UTF-8 and cannot be changed at the moment.
We do have a feature request for this to add a hook, but I can’t give you a timeframe on that.
I do expect you’re using Microsoft Excell since Excell does not recognize UTF-8 format automatically.
You can import any CSV file and force it to load as UTF-8.
I don’t use Excell, but I believe this page explains it quite well.
