Hello,
I've found some places with strange characters in their names. I thought that maybe they have been imported from some other source and there's an error in the code (or maybe they're already wrong in the source). Anyway, here's a list of their geoname ids...

3926124,3934225,3935140,3935199,3935200,3935202,3940347,3947270,3948965,3964988,3965026,3965107 ,3965185,6400370,6400474

I found 54 files with the hex. sequence EFBFBD, see the attachment.

Do you also know which correct character they should stand for? I have correct the first toponyms in Xavis list with geonameid < 6400000. For the later I would have to figure out the correct character. It is possible they have been corrected in the nga data source, but I did not yet have a look.

Hi Marc,

#5495775 should be:

T'uf Shur Bien Preservation Trust Area

But I get an error on editing it.

Thanks. I have updated it.
