UTF-8 issue

[LienReyserhove]

I have the same problem here with the UTF-8 encoding of the taxon core.
The encoding of the raw data file is ok, but when exporting it to a .csv and also when viewing it in R, it renders some problems with the encoding. I guess this is the same issue as this issue for the manual of alien plants. I cannot remember if we ever solved this one, although problems with the encoding did not occur for a long time..
I checked for the manual of alien plants, and the UTF-8 issue remains there as well, so I guess we didn't solve the problem yet.
@peterdesmet can you fresh up my mind please?

I don't think we solved that issue. I would suggest to ignore it for now (leaving this issue open) and for the final files, to just run it on a Mac or Linux.

That's what I thougth.
Ok, the thing is that it makes it very difficult for me to scan the scientific names for error (groups). But as we are talking about 12000 taxa here, I should probably be not too difficult with the scientific names.

Indeed, would start data cleaning those.

Leaving issue open because data still needs to be run on Mac to solve this.
