5.0-lollipop import vcard samsung-galaxy-s-6

                          I have tried to import vCard files using default Contacts app in Samsung Galaxy S6 (details here ), but I am not sure about format required (vCard version supported) and Encoding to be used. 

I have used Windows-1250 encoding and it worked but all the special characters were imported as ?.  When using UTF-8 it failed to import completely. What is the recommended character encoding and recommended vCard format/version?

Currently my vCard file looks like this with Windows-1250 encoding:

    BEGIN:VCARD
    VERSION:3.0
    NAME:XXXX Günzel
    N:Günzel;XXXXX;;;
    TEL;CELL:+XXXXXXXXX
    END:VCARD
