Captions showing letters with accents as '?'
It is important after translating the transcript file to save the file as UTF-8 encoded.
I can confirm that special characters DO INDEED WORK as long as the file is encoded UTF-8, which can be done from the top menu of Notepad++, by choosing Encoding > Convert to UTF-8!

Hey! I don't have Notepad ++ and I am having the same problem. I am doing my VTT files with notepad windows. Is there another way to fix this?
Mariel Vargas I don't know if you solved this already, but you can save them as UTF-8 encoded straight from normal Notepad. Just choose "Save as" and beneath the file type, you can choose which encoding you want to save it as.
I did this for all my subtitles and it works well!
