Protégé and UTF-8

Protégé is utf-8 compatible, which means it can process and display utf-8 characters. In the course of editing, many editors prepare their concepts or concept information in Microsoft Word or Excel. They then copy from Microsoft and paste into Protégé. This can cause problems because Microsoft is not purely utf-8 compatible. The paste operation can introduce characters that Protégé does not know how to process. The instructions below show how to avoid these problems.

...

If you are running on a Microsoft platform, or cut and paste from documents produced by Microsoft software, or even allow comments to be posted by people who might be doing one of the above, you need to be aware of the differences, summarized by the following table.
