I import a xml file to ignition and it says that a tag doesn’t have a valid name.  
I dont see any illegal characters in the name.

I already running the latest version of ignition: 7.9.9  
It is about the tag: Setting values ​​dosage control different

What is wrong in this name?

-this is not the only tag with this error where I dont see any illegal characters

xml command for this tag:

```auto

<Tag name='Setting values ​​dosage control different' path='Line 4/Feeder' type='OPC'>
<Property name='Value'/>
<Property name='DataType'>4</Property>
<Property name='OPCServer'>Ignition OPC-UA Server</Property>
<Property name='OPCItemPath'></Property>
</Tag>

```

Solved, I had to set encoding to ANSI and convert it to UTF8
