Dear All,
1. I have a unicode .txt file with tab delimited terms in Bulgarian and English. Naturally, the contents of the file look like this:
"максимум 15 дни" "or a period of time not longer than 15 days" "трудов стаж" "length of service" "езависимо от стажа" "regardless of their length of service" "съкращение в щата" "personnel downsizing" "съпруг" "spouse"

2. I used SDL MultiTerm 2017 Convert to convert the .txt to the required .mtf file for MultiTerm import. 3. I created a new termbase with MultiTerm 2017. 4. When trying to import the .mtf file into the newly created termbase with the following options:
Import definition name: Default import definition Termbase name: DEVNYA CEMENT Import file: C:\Users\User\Desktop\TRANSP\déjà vu x 3 TM Export\*.mtf.xml Import log file: C:\Users\User\Desktop\TRANSP\déjà vu x 3 TM Export\*.mtf.log Exclusion file: Allow over-complete entries: false Allow incomplete entries: true Ignore sub-languages: true Full reorganization: true Import Options: Import all entries: Add import entry as new
I can only import about 4% of the terms and the log file contains the following error:
Fatal Error at (file C:\Users\User\Desktop\TRANSP\déjà vu x 3 TM Export\*.mtf.xml, line 3, column 143246): Invalid character (Unicode: 0x19)
5. My question is: how can I locate the invalid character defined as Unicode: 0x19, so that I can delete it?
