foobar2000 doesn't show track fields with special characters in .flac files

I have a .flac file that has a track name with a word 'Café' and Foobar shows empty field and shows filename in the playlist instead. e.g. MediaInfo shows fine. See screenshot below:



Properties (field is empty, but it's not):


v1.3.17 no addons, win10x64

Can you share the file so that we can take a look? You can probably attach it to this thread.

The tag is malformed, title field isn't UTF-8 encoded as the specs require. If you enter the title in foobar2000 it will get properly written to the file.

Is it possible to tell which encoding is used in that file?

Yes, hex-editor shows the é character is in Latin 1. Whatever tool was used to tag it should be fixed.
