Read Extended Ascii characters from a text file (Return "?")

[energypf]

I have read from a text file that contains characters like this "•", but when I go to read it all comes back to a bad character. How do I read the content? I tried with different encoding.

thanks

Can you upload this text file?

I tried to read from a file that contains this character "•" Bullet, but when I read it back to me a bad character. Why?

Doesn't seem to me it's a utf-8 encoded file. Tried saving it in utf-8 and reopening it?

Here:

Dim In As InputStream = File.OpenInput(File.DirAssets, "1.txt")
Dim tr As TextReader
tr.Initialize2(In, "Windows-1252")
Dim s As String = tr.ReadAll
tr.Close
Log(s)

This is what works for me for my Spanish Help file.
Now I can read my file "En Español"

Dim StrCode
StrCode = "ISO-8859-1"
TR.Initialize2(File.OpenInput(File.DirAssets, FileName), StrCode)

You can also try other Unicode Formats
