Importing lists containing non-English names into Marketo may replace accented characters with invalid ones, often squares or non-alphabetical signs.

 

The "character set" parameter identifies a character encoding, which is a method of converting a sequence of bytes into a sequence of characters. This conversion fits naturally with the scheme of Web activity: servers send HTML documents to user agents as a stream of bytes; user agents interpret them as a sequence of characters. The conversion method can range from simple one-to-one correspondence to complex switching schemes or algorithms.

 

It is a good practice to set the browser to an appropriate character set before running the import. The most widely used are:

 

Unicode (UTF-8)
A universal character set that defines the characters included in a majority of the languages of the world. It can work with pages and forms that include a mixture of languages within the same page.

 

Note: Old browsers may have an issue with you using the UTF-8 character set. It may be wise to consider ISO-8859 for old releases.


ISO-8859-1
Also know as Latin1, includes the latin based languages of the world. It includes most western european languages.
