For those who don't know how to convert the file's encoding using Notepad++ : Create a new file in Notepad++ -> Go to Encoding -> Encode in UTF-8 -> Copy-paste the contents -> save the file as .csv

Answer 2

I was able to convert simply using text editor. I opened csv file with iso-8859-13 encoding. Then created empty csv file with utf-8. Then simply copied everything from one csv to another. Then I could import it into new system.

Previously I tried to do this with libreoffice, but for some reason it would save with iso-8859-13 encoding.

For me worked that way: Open CSV file with regular Notepad. Save as in Notepad and set encoding like in picture.Encoding

Answer 4

Copying .csv content from Excel to Notepad++ does not preserve format, open original .csv in Notepad++ and copy from there.

1. Once opened in Notepad++, create new file in Notepad++ using 'Crtl + n'.
2. Go to Encoding -> Convert to UTF-8-BOM -> Copy-paste the contents -> save the file as .csv.

Open the file in Notepad++ and click Encoding->Convert to UTF-8.
