Getting Data In

How to allow special characters in the header for uploaded CSV data?

I uploaded CSV data which contains some special characters in headers and values, but after parsing, all special characters were removed from the header.
I want to support all characters in the header. I also tried several Regex patterns in "FIELD_HEADER_REGEX" and "Pattern for prefixed header line", but not able to get proper results.

CSV headers become Splunk fields so they are limited to the characters allowed in field names. Valid characters for field names are a-z, A-Z, 0-9, or _ . Field names cannot start with a digit or underscore.
