Experience Builder Table Export Degree Character Changing

SophieSanders_24 — Mon, 19 May 2025 13:08:02 GMT

Hello, I've build an experience builder with a feature service that has two fields with the coordinates in Degrees Minutes Seconds, e.g. DDD° MM' SSS.sss" <N|S|E|W>, These fields appear correctly in the pop ups and tables but when I export a csv table from the experience builder it changes to DDDÂ° MM' SSS.sss" <N|S|E|W>,

I presume this is something to do with it being an unusual character but I cant seem to fix it,

When I export to csv table from ArcPro this does not happen so it is a problem in the experience builder export only,

Any help or suggestions appreciated

Hi @SophieSanders_24 ,

The issue with the unexpected “A” character (e.g., seeing DDDA° instead of DDD°) is due to how the degree symbol is being interpreted by the system viewing the file. It’s a common encoding mismatch where special characters like ° aren’t displayed correctly.

We’ve identified the root cause and are working on a solution that ensures the file displays properly across different systems.

In the meantime, as a workaround, try opening the file using UTF-8 encoding. This should display the degree symbol correctly.

Thanks,

Shengdi
