Why do subtitles show corrupted accents in MKVToolNix?
When multiplexing external subtitle files (.srt or .vtt) into MKV containers, tools like MKVToolNix often read standard UTF-8 files using local system encodings, causing special characters, tildes (á, é, í), and ñ to break. Adding a Byte Order Mark (BOM) forces complete compatibility.
