The reason for Excel being unable to read those special characters (Example: Long dash -, Inverted commas copied from text editor вЂHelloвЂ™ вЂњworldвЂќ, some greek characters Г¤ ДЌ бё‡ ОІ, etc) was that the generated CSV file uses a UTF-8 character encoding, but Excel tries to read it using a different encoding (probably ISO-8859-1) and we canвЂ™t expect the user to have it configured for utf-8. I came across a solution which we will be learning about in this post. While going through different stack-overflow posts, reading articles and documentations. It was getting exported using a network call as background job (as asynchronous task)Д«elow is the example of how the error was appearing: It was getting parsed problem in other editors like Google Sheets, Number, Notepad etc. When writing into a file encoded with utf-8 encoding, some special characters werenвЂ™t getting parsed in Excel.
