    Hi Kapil,

    I have tried on Form 8.1.1 and it works fine.

    1) Created a country list with these 2 items:- Åland Islands India

    2) Created a prevalue source Country Dropdown enter image description here

    3) Dropdown in front-end is looking good with special characters. enter image description here

    Please can you check your files and see any issues.

    Regards,

    Shaishav

    Hi Kapil,

    Please can you choose Encoding: UTF-8 while saving txt file as it seems while initial storing Umbraco is not able to recognise it.

    But it worked for me fine.

    I used notepad++ and pasted countries list. It worked.

    Thanks for suggestions.
