Dear community,

I am using Chinese panel data for 2012 and 2014 and I've been using the
Code:
unicode
command to translate the data so it appears correctly.

My code is as follows:

Code:
unicode analyze *
unicode encoding set gb18030
unicode retranslate *, invalid(mark) transutf8
It worked perfectly for the 2012 data but when I do the same for the 2014 data, Stata 15 unexpectedly quits. Has anyone encountered a similar issue before? Is the problem with my data file?

I have tried on both Mac and PC computers with both Stata 14 and Stata 15. The issue is the same.

Thank you for your help!
