Hi, could you try [this](https://prnt.sc/ijtrv9) as seen in the faq it might be a PHP encoding issue, Pydio needs to know what type of encoding you’re using. ---

Thank’s for your reply Zayn. I do not have access to shell. The encoding error is not occurring in pydio startup or core translations but only in .txt files. ---

The characters did not display correctly on opening the files, but despite not touching them or doing anything to the [encoding](http://net-informations.com/q/faq/encoding.html) (auto-detected as UTF-8), they were overwritten with something else, which popped up in version control.
