How to suppress transcoding warnings during a proc import?

[Ani7]

I am trying to import a file that returns the following WARNING on import:
WARNING: Some character data was lost during transcoding in column: var16 at obs 234.

I have tried encoding as utf-8, utf-16, and utf-32 to have this warning disappear to no avail. Is there a way to only suppress this transcoding warning? The character that is causing this issue is: 

Unicode Character “╕” (U+2555)

Hello,

Some procedures do offer options to suppress warnings (for that particular procedure or procedure statement / option),

but no general option is available to eliminate warning messages!

Do you want to suppress the warning or actually have the character in the data?

You should show the code you attempted and the log when using the UTF options that did not successfully import the character as that would be the approach to read the data. Depending on your actual code you may have placed the option in the wrong place. We would have to see the actual code the log to make better suggestions.

Copy the LOG with all of the notes, warning and/or errors from the attempts and paste them into a text box opened on the forum with the </> icon that appears above the message windows. The text box is important to maintain formatting of any diagnostic messages that SAS might include in the log.
