Original Pull Request: https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/pull/6057

State: closed
Merged: No


Fixes #3848

Adds the ability to specify character encoding when importing CSV files, enabling correct import of files from banks that use non-UTF-8 encodings. This fixes garbled characters in payee names and descriptions for international users whose banks export data in legacy encodings.

I tried adding the encoding option at the readFile layer but was not successful, so finally opted to make the changes in parseCSV to minimize impact on other areas in actual budget.
