- 1I've confirmed that the data is UTF-8. What do I put into the file to let excel know that my data is utf-8 (BOM?)Freddo411– Freddo4112008-09-30 21:17:23 +00:00Commented Sep 30, 2008 at 21:17
- I think that you need to change the file encoding, excel uses the system default codepage to handle csv filesalbertein– albertein2008-09-30 21:19:25 +00:00Commented Sep 30, 2008 at 21:19
- I'm not entirely sure, since I don't have Excel installed on the machine I'm currently using, but with OpenOffice, there's a dropdown box for character encoding when you import a CSV file. From there, choose Unicode (UTF-8).Adam Rosenfield– Adam Rosenfield2008-09-30 21:21:15 +00:00Commented Sep 30, 2008 at 21:21

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. python-3.x), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
