I think the problem is more that when vegen reads the variables that it is not respecting the encoding.

EOGenerator in the past was using ISO-Latin-1, but I think a year ago it was moved to UTF-8, which is good. So I changed the encoding of our templates to UTF-8, and that's fine. The problem is is that we have EOGenerator variable with value is :
