Some characters not correctly decoded ? about forceutf8

[neitanod]

ForceUTF8 will process your file correctly as long as it's encoded in Latin1 (iso 8859-1), Windows-1252 or UTF8, or mix of them. ForceUTF8 does not understand other encondings.

[neitanod]

Right. I initially wrote it for my own needs but it's probably time to write a better documentation now that the user base has grown. :)

[Krato]

Yes. This is giving me an error too.

[neitanod]

Not likely. What encoding are you using in the input?

[M13K]

what if you don't know what encoding used in the input. I have a csv file with an unknown charset, then
i've applied the Encoding::toUTF8. Unfortunately, it does'nt work...

[M13K]

Ok, thanks you for the reply! Hope to find what i'm looking for. Good job by the way..

@neitanod supported encodings should be clearly listed in a documentation.

ATM:

You don't need to know what the encoding of your strings is. It can be Latin1 (iso 8859-1), Windows-1252 or UTF8, or the string can have a mix of them. \ForceUTF8\Encoding::toUTF8() will convert everything to UTF8.
