Problem with character special in odt

Hello guys,

I still have this problem before. In my research I see that there is no trivial solution as commented on Dolibarr v.13 prints special characters in .odt files - #13 by farneyaurelio.

In view of this, in the hope of one day solving this issue, I am correcting the texts exported in .odt in word itself with the help of a macro. I put the schedule below to help other people if they need it.
