Accents not displaying in GitLab


I use Matlab on Windows and commit my changes on my work's GitLab.
All the accent characters within my files, such as é or à, do not display on the GitLab web interface (they just disappear).
For instance, Caractères non-affichés : à é è ô ö ...
gives Caractres non-affichs : ...

I tried changing git setting to "commit as is" but it didn't work.

Does anyone have some ideas or questions ?

Thanks.

EDIT : GitLab lets me use a web code editor for my files. The characters in it show up, but they are broken. : � �
If I change them manually, they then display properly in GitLab.

EDIT2 : I pushed files using git command and it worked properly.
Now Matlab displays the bad characters as broken. But when I write new lines and push, they display properly in both Matlab and gitLab.


Solution

  • My files were first encoded as ANSI. So Matlab could display everything right, but not GitLab. (See Will's link : https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/34874)

    I just had to open them all with Notepad++ to convert them to UTF8, commit and push. And now everything's shiny !

    Thank you everyone for your help.
