Damon BellAre you are saving the CSV with the UTF-8 character set? For special characters, the Photoshop plugins API requires UTF-8. However, with that said, I’m not sure if UTF-8 contains the special bullet character that you are using. Without using UTF-8, Spanish characters won’t work which is the most common thing that I see happen. The Spanish characters will work with UTF-8. I really don’t know all of what UTF-8 contains.
You can refer to the UTF-8 character list in the link. If you save the data sheet with UTF-8 then it will be able to import all of these characters. However, the font also has to support the character. If the font doesn’t have the character, then it will display the placeholder character, which is usually a box, but can vary depending on what the font designer created for the placeholder.
So to summarize, uyou need to save the data file using UFT-8 for the character set, the character must be included in UTF-8, and the font must support that character.
For the most part, any characters that a font will support will be included in UTF-8. So if you use UTF-8 and the character doesn’t replace properly then the font does’t support that character.
If you use UTF-8 and the CSV won’t load then that character probably ins’t in the UTF-8 character set.
Here is the link to the UTF-8 character list.
