  • CSV import produces encoding Problem

    Hello,

    I have a Problem regarding the import of a CSV file.
    The following code produces an encoding Problem with the "*" sign (asterisk), even though in the provided data sample the variable looks fine.

    Code:
    import delimited using `file',case(preserve) stringcol(_all) encoding(utf8) clear
    I first tried it without the encoding(utf8) part, thinking that with stata16 that is not necessary anymore. However, in both cases, with or without , I get the little questionmarks instead of the asterisk.

    has anybody an idea what could cause the problem?

    Best regards
