How to keep the original Swedish/Finnish character in the file?

[irfanaziz]

The files are in ANSI format as it shows in the notepad, I could manuelly convert the files to utf8 and read it. But the files are really large. I dont want to download and upload the files.

Is there way so i could keep the swedish/finnish characters ?

I tried reading the file with iso-5589-1 encoding but to no avail.

What would be the easy way to convert the files to utf8 encoding in the notebook or something easy.

So the answer was using the option("charset", "iso-8859-1")
