This bypasses the whole codepage problem. The fix will be in Tomorrow's nightly build at https://code.gnucash.org/builds/win32/stable. It should be ready sometime around 2026-09-30 08:00 UTC and will be named something like gnucash-5.17-2026-09-29-git-5.17-2-g56ccad9a66+.setup.exe. Please install and test."
