This file was created with Notepad++ and UTF8-encoding.
When this specification and data file is analyzed, we see in the Facets analysis window:
....
Facets = 2
Labels =
1,$$$$$ ; (elements = 3)
2,a$$ ; (elements = 3)
Opening work files

Multibyte characters are not displayed, but are replaced with a substitute ASCII character: $ which can be changed with the specification UTF8sub=

In some output and menus, the multibyte characters appear as ANSI characters:
