[Qgis-user] encoding csv to windows-1252 does not work

Which version of QGIS are you using? With stable and master QGIS3,
I cannot reproduce it with the file attached. Be aware that it gets
UTF-8 once imported to QGIS. So it'll be UTF-8 in the table, too.

[local] tobwen at qgis=# select * from public.french

Best regards,
