This didn&#8217;t cause any issues, but I thought I should report it.<br \/>\nThe other one was that when importing the feed into google calendar, characters with accents were not properly decoded. The generated ics file is fine, the problem is the announced charset from the server. I tried to change the announced encoding to UTF-8 using .htaccess to no avail. Later I saw that in the code there is the line<br \/>\nheader( &#8216;Content-type: text\/calendar&#8217; );<br \/>\nand I read that if no charset is specified it defaults to iso-8859-1. So I changed the previous line to<br \/>\nheader( &#8216;Content-type: text\/calendar; charset=UTF-8&#8217; );<br \/>\nand now google shows the correct characters.<br \/>\nI have solved both issues myself, but it will break future updates, so will you include them in future releases?<br \/>\nThanks<br \/>\nPau<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-50403","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>ICal text encoding -<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/ical-text-encoding\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"ICal text encoding -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Hi, today I encountered a couple of problems with the ICal feed of the events.
