Hi Experts

I have a DB Script in which a column have the French language data(Conversion of English fields name).

I import the script but after importing the data, the data is not correct as It is giving question mark(?) for few letters in the French word.

Example: complète ( French Word ) ---------> compl?te (After import is complete).

I used every default setting such as UTF-8.

If is there any solution then tell me in steps

Thanks in advance.

It seems like you're encountering issues with French language data displaying question marks after importing a script. To resolve this problem, please try the following steps:

  1. Check Data Encoding: Ensure the original data in your script is in the correct UTF-8 encoding for French characters.

  2. File Encoding: Save your script file with UTF-8 encoding.

  3. Database Settings: Configure your database to use UTF-8 encoding for character support.

  4. Import with Encoding: During script import, specify UTF-8 encoding.

  5. Data Verification: After import, verify the data for correct display. If question marks persist, there might be encoding issues in the original data.

  6. Data Cleanup: If needed, manually correct any encoding issues.

  7. Collation Settings: Confirm that your database uses a UTF-8 collation that supports French characters.

  8. Backup Data: Always back up your data before making changes.

If the problem continues, provide more details about your tools and systems.
