 * Hi,
 * I’ve tried to import csv table and if the data is in English, it’s ok. However
   when entities are in Cyrilic the imported data is only characters and symbols.
   
   What’s more if I don’t put check in front of Convert to UTF-8, no data is imported.
   Would you help me with that?
 * PS I’ve checked the web options while saving the csv document and choose Unicode
   UTF-8 in Encoding section. however it didn’t help.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fimporting-data-utf-8-problem%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hello [@adriana1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/adriana1/)
    Did you tried
   to save the csv as MS-DOS format from excel / export as UTF-8 from your excel
   software. If your csv is Unicode format then it should work fine.
 * Thanks

 * No, it dosn’t. I’ve already tried this and I’ve test it one more time but it’s
   the same problem.

 * Hi [@adriana1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/adriana1/)
    Try converting
   encode UTF-8 without BOM – Open the file you want to verify/fix in Notepad++ –
   In the top menu select Encoding > Convert to UTF-8 (option without BOM) – Save
   the file. Post the results here

 * I have been loading the csv files into the database with no problems.
    After 
   the last ninjatables update I got problems with portuguese characteres. I am 
   not able to import the data into the database already created.
 * My file is a utf-8 file created by phyton and It is not working during de update
   into ninjatables.
 * When I tried to load the data into the ninja database(clicking the bottom import),
   the application tried to load with no success. (replace data)
    When I tried to
   create a new table with the same data, I receive the message undefined, att,
