I'm running into this same problem importing unusual characters into a List Attribute.
I've tried using the Unicode options, the ACSII and about a dozen other ones. Each option works within my TextEdit program (set to plain text) and other locations (like web browsers) but all of them break once the text is imported into a List Attribute.
Sample: The word amō when imported looks like this: (see attachment)
Anyone know how to fix this? I have hundreds of words to import and fixing them all by hand (copy/paste) is quite time consuming.
Thanks in advance.
