Hi, The problem with the suggested workaround is that it can break encoding. e.g. loading Afrobarometer Wave 6 (available here: https://afrobarometer.org/data/merged-round-6-data-36-countries-2016), in haven 2.3.1: ``` afb6

I was not involved in creating the Afrobarometer file either. FWIW, I opened the file in SPSS 27. It happily opens the file, but shows broken/box characters for that one...
