Unable to create connected tables between Apps

Hello, I setup the connection correctly and don't have issues with a lot of other tables. However, certain tables I'm trying to setup as a connected table from another app is giving me the issue below when selecting the table and trying loading to the "Select Fields":

Reading the QuickBase API_GetSchema response from https://h2oinnovation.quickbase.com/db/bg7ijapzy?act=API_GetSchema failed.XMLStreamException: ParseError at [row,col]:[65,24]
Message: Invalid byte 1 of 1-byte UTF-8 sequence.

I'm aware that the issues is due to special characters not being recognized, but after running the Mixed Encoding Scanner, it's showing me that there are 15,771 errors! The majority are simple apostrophes that were not showing as the mini diamond with a question mark like they are now. 

I know that the UTF-8 setting is supposed to be prevent this, but it's been on from the beginning (still is) and I'm still having the character's showing as unrecognized. So even if I did fix the existing errors, they're still popping up instantly. There are plenty of errors from being copy and pasted from emails which I could understand (almost exclusively  apostrophes), but a lot of them are typed in directly into the system too, so I don't know what's going on.

Please help and feel free to ask any question.

Thanks!

Thanks
