GitHub Pages Jekyll build failed because a file is not properly UTF-8 encoded
File is not properly UTF-8 encoded
GitHub Pages could not build the Jekyll site because one of the content or data files uses an encoding that Jekyll does not accept.
Observed message
File is not properly UTF-8 encoded
Why it happens
- A content, config, or data file is saved with a non-UTF-8 encoding.
- The file contains invalid byte sequences.
- Text was copied from another source and introduced unsupported characters or encoding.
How to fix it
- Re-save the affected file with UTF-8 encoding.
- Check for invalid characters or byte-order-mark issues in the file.
- Retry the build after converting all Jekyll inputs to UTF-8.
