In my drupal 8 project, I'm trying to import data of a content type from a csv file, everything is well, but when I'm trying to execute the migration command drush mim my_migration I got the following error: 

PDOException: SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1366 Incorrect string value: '\xAB Nove...' for column 'sourceid1' at row 1 in                   [error]
/Users/brahim/Sites/news8/core/lib/Drupal/Core/Database/Statement.php:59

It seems like a problem of database encoding.. but I don't know what is it really, any idea about the solution?

    maybe related to the source file encoding format (try with UTF-8). Check also for string issues (special characters) on the source file. – xaa Sep 13 '18 at 13:14
  • thanks @xaa for replying, how can I change/check the file encoding format? – MiharbKH Sep 13 '18 at 13:18
  • depends of your text editor, google it. eg stackoverflow.com/questions/18693139/… – xaa Sep 13 '18 at 13:22
  • Thank you dude! that was exactly the solution, I changed the file to UTF-8 encoding format and re-execute the migration the content has been imported as it should. thank you! – MiharbKH Sep 13 '18 at 14:02
