Open Studio for DQ can not handle special characters in CSV-File encoded as utf-8

[Anonymous]

Hi, 

I'm using the Talend Open Studio for Data Quality Version 6.5.1 to analyze the quality of data in a csv file which is encoded in UTF-8. If I select the indicator 'Soundex Frequency' for a column which values contains special characters like "ü" and "é" and run the analysis I get the following error message: 

2018-05-04 17:14:20,232 ERROR org.talend.dq.analysis.AnalysisExecutor  - java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The character is not mapped: Ü

I've already tried to solve the problem by the solution of this post: https://community.talend.com/t5/Design-and-Development/Handling-special-characters/m-p/25169#M4268

and I checked "Allow specific characters (UTF8,...) for columns of schemas" under Window / Preferences / Talend / Specific Settings.

Neither of the solutions worked for me. 

Is there any workaround to solve the problem?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

Have you tried to add -Dfile.encoding=utf8 in the ini (config file) and restart your studio to see if it works?

Best regards
