  • Hello

    I want to read from a text file and parse its contents in Appian. Only challenge is my txt file has some characters in Chinese language which readlinesfromtextfile functions is not able to read properly.

    Does readlinesfromtextfile support Chinese/ any UTF 8 characters/ any language other then English?

    Some sample Chinese text in my file is 肖恩

     After reading above text, it shown ? for these characters in Appian, we have enabled Chinese language from admin console.

    Is there any other way of reading non English characters from text file in Appian?
