I've opened support case for this and Splunk Support answered that I should add "-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8" to JVM Options in general settings of DB Connect

Hello,
I have the same problem like you, but i try to read from teradata. And this workaround didn't work for Bulgarian. Can you have more hints like this.

I have no idea what can help you. In my case Splunk support helped me.
You can try to open case to Splunk Support.
