 * Hi,
    same issue here. For Slovenian language I need characters Č, Š and Ž to 
   be in correct format. Any ideas how to fix this?

 * Hi,
    I found out, it’s not really an export issue. The problem lies in program
   that opens the CSV file. I use MS Excel and if I just open the file, some characters
   are incorrect. The solution (at least it worked for me): Open Excel, go to: Data
   > Get External Data From Text. Select the exported CSV file. A window opens and
   in step 1 of 3 choose File origin: 65001: Unicode (UTF-8). Other steps are just
   the usual ones to get text to columns. Hope it works for you too.

 * Does anyone else have this issue? I’m on a Mac and I don’t have this option about
   importing external data. If an existing spreadsheet is open I can then import
   external data, and I have tried all of the UTF8 options and nothing works. Still
   badly formed characters.
    If I open in Mac’s version of Excel (Numbers) it works
   perfectly, but would like to resolve this. Can anyone help? Thanks!
