CodePage error using special characters on Report and Email Tools (on Alteryx 2018.2.5)

Question

When I upgraded my Designer version to 2018.2.5.

The emails sent through the report tool that contains special characters are messed up:

Before (Using Alteryx 2018.1):

After (Using Alteryx 2018.2.5):

I'm Think the issue may be related to the CodePage changuing from UTF - 8 to ANSI.

I've tried ConvertFromCodepage and ConvertToCodepage applied to the HTML code generated by the Report Tool but didn't workout.

also Tried the User Settings > location > code page (all the posible configurations). And could not solve the issue either.

See the attached workflow below.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Beltran,

I found a workaround to solve the issues.

You need to use a formula tool and the function ConvertfromCodePage(z, x). "z" being your field and "x" the codepage-

Using your same example, this will be the solution:

Hope this helps!
