Original Pull Request: https://github.com/langgenius/dify/pull/20188

State: closed
Merged: No


Summary

When SJIS(Japanese Symbols) containing document is input to the Doc Extractor, it returns an unexpected result.

Below is the code snippet where the bug happens:
return file_content.decode("utf-8", "ignore")
The "ignore" parameter skips to handle SJIS properly leading the result being non-readable content.

This changes only focus on handling Japanese language but considering the growth in numbers of clients uisng Dify in Japan, this bug-fix is critical.
