·

Hi - when I export a table as "Download CSV" is there a way to specify UTF-8 format? Some of my rows are downloading with special characters

Clay automatically exports CSV files in UTF-8 format. If you're experiencing issues with special characters, try these troubleshooting steps: 1. Ensure you're using the standard export process (Actions > Export > Download CSV) 2. If special characters still appear incorrectly, try uploading your data to a public Google Sheet first, then download it again as a CSV This approach helps address formatting problems that can affect character encoding.

Hey Jaimie! Thanks for the message. Happy to help✨. Could you confirm which rows had special characters? For context, the download CSV action does not include a setting for UTF-8 format, but formulas can be used to format row values before export.

Hi Daniela For example the hyphen in PwC - Tax Disputes is exported as PwC â€“ Tax Disputes
