I created a *.m3u playlist on my windows system. The file format is UTF-8.
Then I copied this *.m3u file (together with the corresponding *.mp3 files) to my Smartphone with Android 10.
On my smartphone I tapped on the *.m3u file and opened it with AIMP App (newest version).
It works except one issue:
All files which contain spanish or french umlaute/special letters are not recognized successfully by AIMP.
The Playlist should show in the first line the artist and in the second the title.
Have a look at the attached snapshot.
The first entry shows a "normal" playlist entry (as almost all other entries): Everything ok.
The following 3 entries show artist + title only in second line.
So the artist is not recognized.
When I tap on such a wrong entry it cannot be played. With other AudioPlayer Apps this is possible
In Settings->Playlist I set
Default Code Page for ANSI-tags=UTF-8
Why does AIMP not recognize all entries from the opened *.m3u?

Use m3u8 file format instead of m3u, the last one does not support for utf8 encoding

Does NOT help.
I tried it.
Same result.
Any other solution?

Please attach the file that imports incorrectly

Ok, here it is (see zipped attachment).
One version is UTF-8 with BOM marker byte
the other version is UTF-8 with NO BOM marker byte
Both do not work.
I put them in folder with the corresponding *.mp3 files
I am not sure if this matters: when I copied the 3 problematic *.mp3 files over USB cable from windows to Android 10 resp. extracted them via unzipper then the special chars are automatically converted to some odd other special chars.
However: Even if the target *.mp3 files do NOT exist AIMP should correctly split the artist and title into TWO lines (as all other *.mp3 files).
After correct splitting AIMP should mark the missing *.mp3 files in e.g. red text (or otherwise) to indicate "not found".
Splitting *.m3u8 files and successful locating *.mp3 files should be independent from each other.

I have checked your playlists and both imports correctly. Note that player does not "split" anything, it displays the data from file tags. So, if file cannot be opened - file tags will not be loaded and will not be displayed.
I think an issue is:
