Bug identified:
MS Access legitimately allows use of extended characters in object names. However, only very basic sanity checking to convert the actual characters to the Unicode character set is not completed. A test shows that converting the file to UTF-8 with BOM makes no appreciable difference to the output.

This can result in objects with accented characters in their names not rendering properly in the output. See attached sample file and output.
