I try to import a file with greek characters and after the mapping all I see are question-marks instead of the characters. The collation of the database is utf-8 unicode. Is there anything else I can do? (the file I want to import is attached)

Thank you,
Dimitris

It seems that the file you are trying to import is encoded in iso-8859-7.

You can try to convert it to utf-8 by using a command line tool such as iconv
(http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/documentation/libiconv/iconv.1.html)

Which database you're using and which version ...

So what you did is saving the file in UTF8 and it works? This means I can close: non-english characters in CSV file.

Thanks!
