Kettle startup error ininvalid byte 1 of 1-byte UTF-8 Sequence

It's hard to use kettle to create a database connection and use admin to create other users to log on.

After logging out of kettle and restarting, an error is returned:

Invalid byte 1 of 1-byte UTF-8 Sequence

Depressed, I checked it online. This is generally caused by A. xml file. Why is this problem?

It turns out that the file % appdata % \. Kettle \ repositories. xml contains garbled characters. When I created the database, I used Chinese characters in the description. This is probably the cause.

Change Chinese to English and restart kettle!
