unrecognized characters for label and value, does xpt have different encoding like utf-8 or zh_cn?
I think the garbled characters are a functional defect of Universal Viewer.
When opening the xpt(v5) file at hand, the characters are garbled even if the character encoding is utf-8 or SJIS.
Unlike SAS datasets, xpt files do not have encoding information embedded in them. Therefore, when opening an xpt file, the only way to know the encoding other than asci is to guess it from the byte array, but I don't think Universal Viewer has such a feature.
