Using Awk Commmand I am trying to get value of a column in .csv file which contains French/Spanish characters. When Viewing file through View command French/Spanish characters are printed properly but using awk/head command it removes French/Spanish . Sample Data - Vinêâêîôûcédille characters.

Awk Command Output - Vin▒▒▒▒▒▒c▒dille

Head Command output - "Vin▒▒▒▒▒▒c▒dille

Expected Output - Vinêâêîôûcédille

Please see code and output snippet below

It worked for me on Linux.

I used this file
Package_UTF8.txt
Code:
"dE82WVJ","CmFX","COMPLETED","false","Vinêâêîôûcédille TEST","en","PACKAGE","2022-07-20T18:15:13Z","","Vinêâêîôûcédille","2022-07-20T18:16:04Z","true","Electronic Disclosures and Signatures Consent","false","default-consent","tO6YRDDweek5","Vi","Ma","","","vi.ma@xyz.com","null","en","","","tO6YRDDweek5","0","null","2022-06-23T17:04:10Z","2022-06-29T21:50:14Z","ACTIVE","REGULAR","false","Vi_Ma_tO6YRDDweek5_Vinêâêîôûcédille_20220720T181513Z"

and got this result
