## Description

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the Python extraction script and the Bash commands used to convert Latin-1 to UTF-8, then reproduce the reported French-character problem with GC Forms data. Done means extracted data displays French characters correctly without multiple manual encoding fixes.
