How to convert csv files encoding to utf-8
Solution 1
I was able to convert simply using text editor. I opened csv file with iso-8859-13
encoding. Then created empty csv file with utf-8
. Then simply copied everything from one csv to another. Then I could import it into new system.
Previously I tried to do this with libreoffice, but for some reason it would save with iso-8859-13
encoding.
Solution 2
Open the file in Notepad++ and click Encoding->Convert to UTF-8.
(Do not click Encode in UTF-8 because it won't actually convert the characters.)
Solution 3
For those who don't know how to convert the file's encoding using Notepad++ : Create a new file in Notepad++ -> Go to Encoding -> Encode in UTF-8 -> Copy-paste the contents -> save the file as .csv
Solution 4
For me worked that way: Open CSV file with regular Notepad. Save as in Notepad and set encoding like in picture.Encoding

Is it possible to convert csv data that has
iso-8859-13
encoding toUTF-8
?My old system does not have
UTF-8
encoding, it uses onlyiso-8859-13
. The system that I need to import to does not haveiso-8859-13
, but has bothUTF-8
andUTF-16
. If I try to open the csv file with an encoding other thaniso-8859-13
, then some symbols are not recognized. If I try to import such file into the new system, it gives an error that I have wrong encoding. I can only import it usingwindows-1252
, but then it will import with unrecognized symbols. What can I do to convert it to normal encoding such asUTF-8
?
