So how can I solve this error?
I cannot save the file in ANSI format as the thumbprint is in unicode format.
But if i save the text file in unicode format, OpenVPN cannot run successfully.
Options error: Unrecognized option or missing parameter(s) in client.ovpn:1: ÿþc (2.2.2)

a certificate thumbprint is NOT in Unicode format; instead it should look a bit like this
etc...
