Excel to CSV with UTF8 encoding [closed]

Answer 1

Using Notepad++

This will fix the corrupted CSV file saved by Excel and re-save it in the proper encoding.

• Export CSV from Excel
• Load into Notepad++
• Fix encoding
• Save

Excel saves in CP-1252 / Windows-1252. Open the CSV file in Notepad++. Select

Encoding > Character Sets > Western European > Windows-1252

Then

Encoding > Convert to UTF-8
File > Save

First tell Notepad++ the encoding, then convert. Some of these other answers are converting without setting the proper encoding first, mangling the file even more. They would turn what should be ’ into 達. If your character does not fit into CP-1252 then it was already lost when it was saved as CSV. Use another answer for that.
