Hi Lucy, The .arches file should support diacritics. I'm actually surprised that the authority files don't. I just tested a local file and I was able to add these records:
conceptid,PrefLabel,AltLabels,ParentConceptid,ConceptType,Provider 20000001-0000-0000-0000-000000000000,Portland,,CITY_AUTHORITY_DOCUMENT.csv,Index,GCI 20000002-0000-0000-0000-000000000000,San Francisco,The Bay Area,CITY_AUTHORITY_DOCUMENT.csv,Index,GCI 20000003-0000-0000-0000-000000000000,San Jose,San José,CITY_AUTHORITY_DOCUMENT.csv,Index,GCI Notice that the alt label for San Jose, is San José Can you share the authority file that you're having trouble with?
