      Description

      I have the following bugs when importing non-ascii data in CiviCRM:

      1- in French, if the first letter of the first/last name has an accent in it (ex: Émilie), the first letter gets stripped. However, if the accent is somewhere else in the data, no problem.
      2- data in Cyrillic (Bulgarian) is dropped completely.

      The file (attached) is in UTF-8, written in Vim. First line contains headers.

      Bug reproduced in the Drupal sandbox, as well as with CiviCRM 1.9, 2.0.

      Thank you for any hints,
      Mathieu Lutfy (bgm on #civicrm)
