 * Guess what. I am not asking for help this time, but just wanted to point out 
   for those with special character import errors from excel made csv tables, that
   if they have Apple **Numbers**.app, it exports csv tables that import correctly
   into TablePress without any need of correcting what so ever.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for this information! Yes, Numbers seems to work better than Excel for
   many people, indeed. A lot of this however also seems to depend on the locale
   settings of the operating system, so that this might not always be the case.
 * Regardless, if things don’t import as expected on the first try, it is usually
   a good idea to manually set the character encoding to UTF-8 in a text editor.
   On Windows, Notepad will work, while Mac users should try TextWrangler.
 * Best wishes,
    Tobias

 * Ok, thanks.
 * Do you happen to have a link to where this is described, that is how to set the
   encoding?

 * Hi,
 * great that you found it already!
 * It’s basically just a “Save as”, and then selecting the desired encoding.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
