Find Missing Characters in Imported Data

JMP attempts to detect the character encoding in your document. Sometimes the document might use an encoding that JMP does not recognize, or JMP might have chosen the wrong encoding.

1. In the data table, select Edit > Search > Find.

2. Type \x{fffd} next to Find what.

3. Make sure that Use regular expressions is selected.

4. Make sure that Search data is selected.
