Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I see garbled characters?
This happens when a file is opened with the wrong encoding. Characters like é, ñ, 中 may appear as ??? or gibberish.
What is UTF-8?
UTF-8 is the universal character encoding standard. It supports all languages and special characters, and is recommended for all modern files.
Will this fix my data?
If the original encoding is detected correctly, yes! If characters are already corrupted in the source file, they cannot be recovered.
