   Looks like some of Python's functions don't like Unicode characters that much (which is something I really should have tested, being Swedish myself).

   Sorry for the delay, I will get on this ASAP!

   I have been testing around, and it seems to handle unicode characters (and even unescaped backslashes) seem to import just fine on my system (Ubuntu 13.10), so I worry it may be an "operating-system specific" problem.

   What operating system are you using, and do you have a link to the issue you tried to import?

   I'm using Windows. The issue is in a private repo, but I will try to replicate the issue with two public repos.

   The issue is in a private repo, but I will try to replicate the issue with two public repos.

   You are welcome to use the following issue:

   • Exempel problem med “Svenska bokstäver” m.fl. \u201d \n and stuff... IQAndreas/github-issues-import#19

   And then write to the following repo:

   • https://github.com/IQAndreas-testprojects/github-issues-import-example

   With the following command:

   $ python3 gh-issues-import.py --source IQAndreas/github-issues-import --target IQAndreas-testprojects/github-issues-import-example --issues 19 --no-config
   

   I haven't tested, but I don't believe you need write-permissions on the target repo in order to open issues there (even with an automated script).

   I am closing this issue for now since it seems to be resolved, but if you are still having problems with it, please leave a comment, and I will re-open this issue.

   I'm still having the same issue importing issues between two private repos. The repo being imported into is a fork from the repo being imported from. The issues being imported occasionally contain CJK characters.
