Weird Characters in Imported CSV files

I received a large amount of .CSV files from a client, and these files came from all over the world. Some of them are showing odd characters throughout the file when importing. I asked the origin of the particular files and was told the original languages were English and Spanish. I notice there are many that are Russian Language entries as well. I'm not sure the correct way to get the data to display correctly. To combat the Spanish to English problem, I have added the Spanish Language packs and also tried importing the CSV as "65001 : Unicode (UTF-8)". This changed the characters but did not make them correct.

Is there maybe a VBA code out there that can loop and convert these to whatever they are supposed to be? Or maybe remove them entirely? My next idea is loading the CSV files with a Python script and see if that is any different. I'm not sure if this is an issue with the import or possible the CSV file. When I open the original file in Wordpad, I see the same characters. Any advice is appreciated.

Examples:
-López
-Escuela República de Argentina
-Escuela de Música Salta
-ÆÑâ
-°4001
-ÞôõÑÂьúð ×ÞÃÂ

I had a similar problem and for me, this code helped resolve the problem.

It might be a starting point for you.

VBA Code: 
Public AsciiArray(300)

Public Sub AsciiTest()

    strWorksheet = "<Active Worlsheet>"
    strColumn = "<Columne to walk>"

    Call MakeAcessArray
    Worksheets(strWorksheet).Visible = True
    Worksheets(strWorksheet).Select

    For xCounter = 1 To 1000
        If Range(strColumn & xCounter).Value = "" Then
            'Exit Sub
        End If
        RemoveNonASCII (Range(strColumn & xCounter).Value)
    Next

End Sub

Public Function RemoveNonASCII(str As String) As String
    Dim i As Integer
    For i = 1 To Len(str)
        If AscW(Mid(str, i, 1)) < 127 Then 'It's an ASCII character
            RemoveNonASCII = RemoveNonASCII & Mid(str, i, 1) 'Append it
        Else
            Debug.Print str
            For Y = 1 To i - 1
                SpaceCounter = SpaceCounter & " "
            Next
            Debug.Print SpaceCounter & "^Character #" & i & " Is illegal Ascii[" & AsciiArray(AscW(Mid(str, i, 1))) & "]"
        End If
    Next i
End Function

I guess what I'm trying to ask is, Are those characters supposed to be converted? Or are they supposed to be removed? I modified your code to remove them for now. I'm just not sure what caused that to begin with.

Perhaps the 8th bits have been stripped off when saving as CSV files? Can the senders of the CSV files open the CSV files and see the correct characters, not the odd characters?

Yes, this code just identifies in the intermediate window the "in question" character. I was interested in where the character was located as I didn't have that many. My code can be modified to replace the "in question" character(s) with a space.
My problem was data that was transferred via email, strange characters found their way into the data.
The strange characters did not show up at all and were invisible and looked like a space but code compare failed.

I am wondering the same. I reached out but will likely not get a response until early in the morning as they are 7 hours ahead. From my understanding, they downloaded all the files from their CRM type system. I am assuming the problem lies there.

I am honestly unsure of how to proceed. For example, "GarcÃa" should be "Garcia". I assume this because his full name is in his email. Replacing the character would leave "Garca". I am thinking this is going to be an even bigger problem because I can see the origin country of the entries and there are hundreds( China, Africa, Taiwan, France, Portugal, Romania, Ukraine, Russia, Spain, Mexico, etc.) Maybe it is best to figure out a different method for when creating the CSV.

You are right, you need to determine how these strange characters find there way into the file.
In my case, some email packet modified the string.

Is there maybe a VBA code out there that can loop and convert these to whatever they are supposed to be?

Yes if the coding characters can be known - easy just asking the creator of the source csv text files ! -​
some ways exist directly under VBA / Windows as you can find on Net, in fact whatever the coding language …​
​
For further help I need you link a source csv text file in a files host website like Dropbox for example.​
