    Hi Nitish,

    The Blob type only supports UTF-8 encoded strings, you must ensure that the file your uploading complies with this encoding, otherwise you will get this error in cases where you have special characters.

    Hi Nitish,

    This error was too faced by me when I was writing the email service class.
    First ensure that your file is  encoded in UTF-8 encoding.
    Second if you are splitting your file which was my case check it split in right way as some times extra ",(comma)" creates this type of error.

    Thanks
