 * Hi Sir,
 * My participants entered chinese words in the form. When I export the data into
   cvs, the data appeared as non-readable words.
 * How can I solve the encoding issue?
 * Appreciate for your advise.

 * The CSV must be opened or imported as UTF-8. The problem is in the application
   that is reading the file, not in the plugin.
