Today I received a file from a customer that I have to read, but it contains strange characters. Using known names, I can guess the meaning of some characters.
For example:
Realname | Encoded as | sign | hex
----------|--------------|-------|-------
Françios | Fran?ºios | ç | 3f ba
André | Andr?? | é | 3f 3f
Hélène | H??l?¿ne | è | 3f bf
etc.
From the guy I received the files from, I cannot expect help. (Using Google Translate) he made it clear to me that he found it very hard just to create the files, and he is using software (I believe SAP) that I do not have access to.
Is there any other way I can find the encoding of the files he just send to me?
