accents / encoding

[Richard Wicentowski]

Hi,

Two part question:

1. In the documentation, it says that you removed all diacritics by
converting them to regular characters. Is the gold standard in this
format, or should our answers include diacritics?
2. If the answer to #1 is "include diacritics", should our files be
encoded as Latin-1 or UTF-8?

Thanks,

Rich

Hi Rich

I understand from my co-organisers that we are removing all diacritics
to make it easier for systems. (2.2 of the documentation) so don't
include diacritics

very best
