Excel files saved as CSV in Unicode (eg UTF-8): request for enhancement and request for workaround

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.
