@AlanDillon I am guessing you are trying to bring in some XML data.

 

It looks like non-XML characters are not being converted correctly. These are NULLs, DELs, control characters, etc). Could you check this or does your data contain these sort of characters?

Another way is try to read in the data as UTF-16 as opposed to UTF8.
