After UTF8 import Chinese characters do not display as they should
May 19, 2009, 04:37:07 am
I've imported a UTF8 CSV file successfully, but all the Chinese characters show up as question marks after import. I've tried this on the demo site and get the same error.

Has something changed in the latest update, because I've imported Chinese characters before with no problems.

Using Drupal 6.10 and CiviCRM 2.2.2. Attached is the test file that I used on the demo. Note how two of the columns return question marks.

I can reproduce this on my local CiviCRM 2.2 sandbox as well. :(

I filed CRM-4511 to track this; I hope we’ll fix it for CiviCRM 2.2.4.

I fixed this issue in r21309 on the v2.2 branch, so it will be a part of CiviCRM 2.2.4. The fix can be seen here: http://fisheye.civicrm.org/changelog/CiviCRM?cs=21309 – if you want to have a fixed system before we release 2.2.4, you can overwrite the CRM/Import/DataSource/CSV.php and CRM/Import/ImportJob.php files with the ones from our repository:
http://svn.civicrm.org/civicrm/branches/v2.2/CRM/Import/DataSource/CSV.php
http://svn.civicrm.org/civicrm/branches/v2.2/CRM/Import/ImportJob.php
