Hi,

I am trying to get user name's from SharePoint list's "Editor" column using command :
ModifiedBy = $item["Editor"].LookupValue

So if there is any special characters in user name it displays differently as below:
Anita Schj Møberg (Original name of user) - Anita Schj Møberg (Result name of user when try to retrieve using above command)

So can you please help me get out exact name that is : Anita Schj Møberg ?
Also how to change above name to contaings regular characters that is : Anita Schj Moberg?

Please assist.
Thanking you in advance.

Regards,
Jayashri

    Hi JayashriThorat-2322,

    I created a user 'Anita Schj Møberg' and let it edit an item in my SPO environment, then retrieve the item via PnP powershell and here it could correctly display the user name.

    Could you please share the PowerShell module you're using? And which version of SP you're using?

    Best Regards,
    Baker Kong
