Hi Jake,
The countries.csv file uses UTF-8 encoding (with no BOM) (with (I
think) linux line endings, whereas your Dogs.csv is simple Mac format
(line endings) with ascii(8) encoding.

That is likely reason for the wierd characters you see. Presumably
some code somewhere is expecting/assuming UTF-8 encoding.


Hope that helps,

Mike
