Import does not use UTF-8 (encoding errors) and more errors

[rugk]

When you import my sample file with this app, it mangles with the special characters, i.e. umlauts and signs like „ or “.

It seems it has some encoding errors.

Also as I still had the old entries imported via Nextcloud, it did not overwrite them, but created new ones. (even though their IDs[?] should be the same)

More errors:

• it imports an empty email field (should be: no mail field)
• it imports the phone number type as "voice", see https://github.com/nextcloud/contacts/issues/1521
• it does not import base64 encoded profile images at all

Hey so... sorry for necroposting, but this issue is still present. In my case, it's a problem with Czech special characters, which I find weird considering that the developers of this app are from Slovakia and I suppose that the issues with encoding of characters that are common for both languages would be discovered during testing. Maybe this is a problem with the current version of the app. In any case, I see the characters encoded correctly in the .vcf file that I'm trying to import.
