Force Excel to properly read UTF-8 characters

Open borys-p opened this issue 9 years ago • 1 comments

Hi,

By default Excel works with local character encoding, not utf-8 (for example windows-1250). But there seems to be a way to force it to use unicode. Simply add an extra meta tag in output HTML:

               '<meta name=ProgId content=Excel.Sheet>' +
                '<meta charset=utf-8>' +
                '</head><body>' +

Forcing UTF-8 encoding (maybe via an option) would be appreciated
