The surrogate pair ... is invalid

Dear colleagues,

I'm trying to open an Word file (docx) in Studio 2019 (batch task "Prepare withou project TM"). However, the step "convert to translatable format" fails with the error messaage "The surrogate pair XXX is invalid. A high surrogate character must always be paired with a low surrogate character.

What's going on?

Many thanks in advance!

Kind regards

Erik

Hello Erik Freitag ,

This is possibly due to a missing/corrupted character set

It might help if you could post the full error stack as this may shed light on this.

If you are taking the file(s) from a cloud resource (google/dropbox, please try downloading them to a local folder and try then to create the project.

As this issue seems to be very rare- I found the following info which may be useful.
