Re: O$ 10.1: Single quote (inverted coma) converts to ’ when importing a comma delimited file into a list

[Asif Jabbar]

Hi Doug,

Correct it is a UTF-8 character single quote.  So if I read you suggestions correctly: do it pre or post import - there’s nothing in the Import command itself which can keep the  UTF-8 char and not convert it to ’ (because that’s where the conversion is happening?

Thank you -
