Note - Something nice to have, not a showstopper but annoying since it doesn't point out line number so you have to manually scan each line of entire ledger. If you have bandwidth or maybe someone will fix it in next year's hacktoberfest
The error comes from the ledger cli. It does support UTF-8, provided the LANG env variable is set properly (example LANG=en_US.UTF-8). I am assuming Macos is not setting any env variable while launching the Desktop app (I have received a lot of reports related to this). To confirm, you can check if works via paisa-cli.
@nickdex could you check if the issue is fixed in the latest release 0.5.7
It works now. Thank you! @ananthakumaran
