Hi. Sorry for not being clearer earlier (English is not my native language).

Exactly this.
Sigil QT5 exports an .ini file (ANSI/escaped) > Sigil QT6 imports it:
No problems.
Sigil QT6 exports an .ini file (UTF-8) > Sigil QT5 imports it:
Special characters end up scrambled.

And I'm not nuts about adding a feature to the latest Sigil just to make it possible to export clips and saved searches for use with the unsupported Windows 7 versions of Sigil.

Please reconsider. It's necessary in a multi-collaborator environment: some people have old, non-upgradable equipment
We tried to solve it but the online converters we found are somewhat limited:
For example, the Spanish word "añadir" used to be stored in QT5 as "a\xf1\x61\x64ir". Online converters just change it to "a\u00f1adir". "\u00"/"\u" could easily be changed to "\x"… but when importing QT5 doesn't know where the unicode chars end and imports them all wrong.

Fair enough!
Thank you very much for your answers!
