Support for downloading files using the "Shift_JIS" character encoding will end for CSV download features, including data for importing into Display Ads.

However, support for "Shift_JIS" in the import feature is also scheduled to end in the future, so consider using another character encoding. The detailed schedule will be announced when available.
