Solution 1
- Download and install Unicode CSV Addin for excel.
- Save the csv from the new "Unicode CSV" menu as shown in picture below.
Solution 2
The point is, you need to save the file as UTF-8 and NOT as ASCII. Try this:
- (1) Open an Excel file where you have the info (.xls, .xlsx)
- (2) In Excel, choose "CSV (Comma Delimited) (*.csv) as the file type and save as that type.
- (3) In NOTEPAD (found under "Programs" and then Accessories in Start menu), open the saved .csv file in Notepad
- (4) Then choose -> Save As..and at the bottom of the "save as" box, there is a select box labelled as "Encoding". Select UTF-8 (do NOT use ANSI or you lose all accents etc). After selecting UTF-8, then save the file to a slightly different file name from the original.
