Hello Devendra, I don't know the actual solution to this problem, but I had two ideas of what you could investigate. - I wonder if you are running into an issue of text encoding with your extra characters? - What tools have you used to interrogate the source records "first_owner_nm"? Did you use the FME Viewer tool? Using that tool might give you an indication of whether FME is reading the extra characters. If you do not see the extra characters in the FME Viewer, then I suspect that your problem is with the Magik interface and you could raise a case with the Smallworld help desk.
