Encoding Validation Fixtures

Text and structured-data fixtures for newline handling, UTF variants, BOM behavior, and parser encoding edge cases.

Why This Workflow Matters

  • Validate UTF-8, UTF-16, BOM, and delimiter-handling differences.
  • Use text and CSV fixtures together to expose import-path inconsistencies.
  • Helpful for search indexing, ingestion, and office-suite imports.
