some ifsc codes giving branch names containing special characters

[sriksm19]

this one is for ICIC0006255. instead of MYSORE MAIN it has an additional á.

Would give you more soon if encountered.

This is an encoding issue at RBI end. You can verify this by downloading the original RBI excel sheets as well.

See razorpay/ifsc#32 and razorpay/ifsc#29

If you have a suggestion on how this can be handled cleanly, feedback is welcome 👍

would this help? (probably replace the diacritic with space or empty char)

PS: i havent written bash codes .. yet..

PPS: + i just mailed rbi regd this issue.. hope they check and correct it in this century

These are all encoding issues. Likely newlines and other characters getting converted. However, I'd rather have RBI fix these at their end.

RBI doesn't seem to be keen to fix these, so these are now cleaned up in the release. Accuracy is not guaranteed, but if you notice an issue starting from 1.5.13 release - please create a new issue.

Note that the changes aren't live at ifsc.razorpay.com yet, but should be there soon.
