Summary0003471: Some special characters in UNECE_to_OPCUA.csv appear as '?'
Description

Looks like some characters, at least Ohm, have not been exported to the

https://opcfoundation.org/UA/EngineeringUnits/UNECE/UNECE_to_OPCUA.csv

instead they are written as '?'

That's what I see, if I look at it with 'less' in OSX, whereas other special characters display with their code, so I assume they are not correct in the file.

TagsNo tags attached.

From Thomas Kugler (ascolab):
In code we are representing the special characters in octal notation. For OHM the DisplayName is "\342\204\246". In a gui this is displayed as "Ω".
The reason for the octal notation is that some IDE like Visual Studio are changing the encoding of the file without notifying if special characters like Ω are in the file.

The problem is that the file actually contains
OHM;5195853;ohm;?

With the ? being an actual '?' character and not something that cannot be displayed.

Could be please get this file as UTF-8? Preferably without Byte Order Mark.

Also the row
D62;4470322;second [unit of angle];""""
is wrong, it should only have a single "

Can now autogenerate the file from the UNECE master.
The BOM is necessary to ensure it loads into Excel properly.
