Affinity Designer 2.1.1 cannot open a svg if the file is encoded in ASCII. When I change the encoding to UTF-8, then it works just fine:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ascii" standalone="no"?>
<svg
   version="1.1"
...
     
=>
  
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<svg
   version="1.1"
...

 

Is there a reason why Affinity doesn't support ASCII (Inkscape does).

If you search the forums for svg ascii you will see lots of information about this and ways to get around it.

In brief, encoding="ascii" is not something that the Affinity applications can handle at the moment but changes for it to do so have been requested; there’s no particular reason for it not being supported, it’s just that support for it has not yet been added.

Serif don’t generally give us timescales for any changes – you can keep an eye on the beta forum sections for any possible future functionality updates.
