 * Hi, your plugin is very helpful, thank you!
    Only, I have some issues with the
   character encoding, for example name with accent like María are encoded to Mar
   √≠a. No issues with the ‘gravity-internal’ export. Any suggestion? Thank you.

 * Hi [@claussie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/claussie/)
 * Do you mean as content in a cell? Or with the title of the file? I’ve tested 
   this extensively. Could you provide me all your versions? Php, wordpress, GF 
   and the plug-in?
 * Thanks!

 * Hi,
    thank you for this quick reaction! 🙂 It’s the content of a cell (name) 
   problem occurred with á (´ + a) and í (´ + i). Haven’t tried others yet.
 * Versions are:
    Forms in Excel 1.6.0 Php 7.1.27 Wp 5.1.1 Locale en_US GF 2.4.8
   mysql 5.7.27 / utf8
 * Thank you!

 * Apologise, it is not your plugin, it was an old Excel on Mac version causing 
   this!
    Everything works as it should! Sorry.
