Import XML file strange characters

Hello,

 

When importing a XML file, I get in the query editor:

Guimar�es

 

Instead of:

Guimarães

 

This happens with all accentuated characters. In the "options" I have regional settings: Portuguese-Portugal, so I guess these characters should be correctly imported.

 

How can I fix this?

 

Thanks in advance

Hi @webportal,

 

I think the issue is more related to encode of your xml file, if you change it to unicode, it can be load success.(I haven't modify the regional setting.)
