Importing Captions - issue with special characters

I'm having touble importing captions (.srt files), because Premiere seem do have problems reading special characters, such as "ã" or "ó" or "ç".

It reads perfectly, until it finds some of these characters. Then it stops.

Example:

12
00:00:53,283 --> 00:00:55,769
WHITE SULPHUR SPRING
- vinte,

13
00:00:55,770 --> 00:00:58,789
VIRGÍNIA OCIDENTAL, 1926
- vinte e um, vinte e dois...

It read up till VIRG. Than its blank. The whole file.

If I insert the captiosn manually, it works just fine.

Could it be something wrong with my Language Settings?

Any ideas?

(Premiere Pro, 23.2.0 Build 69).
