Description
Hi -
I create embeddings for some UTF-8 plain text files.
In the embeddings.db sqlite database foreign characters are not right. For example
æ becomes æ
ø becomes ø
and so on.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue with UTF-8 plain-text files containing characters such as æ and ø, then trace how their content is written to embeddings.db. No source file or test is named; done means the stored content preserves the original characters instead of becoming mojibake.
