Description krzysztof.swiatek 2023-01-20 00:13:54 UTC 
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a text file containing an ASCII character with code 128 or higher (for example » i.e. 175).
2. Open the application.
3. Drag the text file into the Project Bin.

OBSERVED RESULT
The character is displayed as a question mark inside a square in the preview window. If user attempts to drag it onto a AV track, then the application will crash.

EXPECTED RESULT
The text file is displayed properly in the preview window and can be dragged onto a track.

extended ASCII characters

I cannot reproduce the issue on Win10 (see attached screenshot). Which language do you have set in Kdenlive.

I tested with attached text file, following your steps: no crash with version 23.08.4. Can you confirm?
