Are there any versions of Excel (chinese, japanese, russian... 2003, 2007, 2010...) that can save CSV files in Unicode (either UTF-8 or UTF-16)?
If not, is the only solution to go with tab-delimited files (save as Unicode-text option)?

Hi,
I have tested on my side with office 2010 professional and plus. I create an Excel and type both chinese characters and english characters in it. Then I save this file into .csv format with UTF-8. It saves OK.
When I open this file, all english characters display normal, but all of chinese characters display as ?.
So if you just use english characters, it is fine to save and open a CSV file with UTF-8.
Hope that helps.

Hi Jen,
Thanks for the response. I have to use chinese characters in my csv file and having columns of ?? is no good.
Can anyone help on how to keep the characters in there?

Hi Mark,
I have the same problem. Trying to save my CSV file in UTF8 encoding. After several hours in searching and trying this also in my VSTO Add-In I got nothing. Saving file as Unicode option in Excel creates file as TAB separated. Because I'd like to save the file in my Add-In application, the best to do is (for my problem) saving file as unicode tab delimited and then replacing all tabs with commas in the file automatically.
I don't think there is a direct way to save CSV as unicode in Excel. And I don't understand why.

This is not a solution to original problem. Can you please mark the question as unanswered?
I am facing the same problem and haven't found a solution yet.

1) Save as Unicode ( Automatically in Tab Separated Format)
2) Use Editplus, do the change a follows:
search Tab, change to ","
add " in the first
add " at the end
3) save it, that it the best method I can find
Any comments?

This is really insufficient for all us not having English as our main language!! I can't even see which format the text is in, where does this info appear? Or is unicode the only format for Excel??
I have to save excelfiles into .csv with utf-8 format in order to import the data into a MySQL database and need to see what I am doing!!
Having to use lots of other programs after export from Excel is really unacceptable when you think about it!
I'm using Excel 2007.
