Encoding not handled correctly for importing an existing bpmn file

Developers Modeler
1

I have tried to import an existing bpmn file using the modeler over bpmn.io - open.
If the file has UTF-8 encoding. Everything works just fine.

In case of windows-1252 encoding. The text is not displayed in the right way.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?>
<bpmn:definitions ..>
...
    <bpmn:task id="Task_08i9uk4" name="Überblick verschaffen">
      <bpmn:documentation>Überblick über alle aufgaben verschaffen</bpmn:documentation>
      <bpmn:extensionElements />
      <bpmn:incoming>SequenceFlow_0acxqhf</bpmn:incoming>
      <bpmn:outgoing>SequenceFlow_138zx7r</bpmn:outgoing>
    </bpmn:task>
...
</bpmn:definitions>

This is correct. We treat all files as UTF-8. As such, we ignore this processing instruction, too:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?>

Which editor did you export from? Why does it use windows-1252 instead of UTF-8, the de-facto encoding standard?
