Hi,
Right now, Excel is UNABLE to save data to CSV file in Unicode (UTF-8, UTF-16 or whatever other Unicode formats). To see how Excel is unable to do so, just use the following strings in a new Excel file and "Save as..." CSV :
Français 中文 Ελληνικά Русский

Clik here to view.
So:
1. I would like to request Microsoft to consider adding this function, since we are already in the2nd decade of 21st Century. It's time to look forward!
2. I would like to know if there's any workaround/hack to achieve this (ie saving data to CSV file in Unicode).
Thanks
PS: I know that the "Save as..." dialog has the option called "Web Options" in which there's "Encoding" tab. BUT, it's useless. Don't believe me? Try it by yourself first.
