Trademark Symbols in AC7 product upload parsed incorrectly.

Post by bigbangtech » Mon Apr 18, 2011 10:00 am

I am having problems uploading items using dataport 7.6 to AC7.06 using a .CSV file from Excel.

The product names contain symbols like degrees, registered®, tm, etc

But, after I import the items to our website, all of the symbols in the product names change to this weird character: �

How can I get the importing to work correctly?

Try changing the symbols to the html entity for them before using the dataport.
