Unicode support in the CSV connector

Adrian Corston 2 years ago in UNIFYBroker Service updated by Beau Harrison (Senior Product Software Engineer) 2 years ago 4

I have Unicode data in a locker field, sourced from a PowerShell connector, which looks file in the UNIFYBroker UI:

However when I export it to a CSV connector, the non-latin1 character doesn't appear to be correct:

(viewed using Notepad++)

Does the CSV connector support Unicode characters?

Sorry, might have to ask you to bump this up to a Bug instead, and get it looked at sooner rather than later, because this is causing a bigger problem.  After an import subsequent to the export, I end up with this in my connector with an extra record created.

Now the underlying CSV file has two records, but they both seem to have the corrupt form:

So when the next import after this runs, the duplicated lines are now causing a duplicate key error:

Hi Adrien,

Yes, this is a bug. I've fixed this and provided a patch to the devop team. Once deployed, unicode characters should no longer be mangled in writes.

Hi Beau,

I've tested this in two of my customer environments and the patch is working great.

Thanks!
