MS Text Driver

[keremskusmezer]

I am using Microsoft Text Driver with a schema.ini file , is there a
way that i can handle UTF-8 Encoded text files, cause the orginal
documentation states that it characterset option only supports OEM And
ANSI

The Advanced button of the text import wizard does allow you to specify
UTF-8, so I guess that the text driver can handle it.

Not having a convenient way of creating a UTF-8 file I'm not in a
position to test this myself, but I'd try specifying
CharacterSet=UTF-8
and if that failed
CharacterSet=Unicode
to see if the driver can automatically detect the UTF-flavour.

At worst, pass the file through a filter that converts UTF-8 to 16-bit.
