Description:
Data coming out of my UTF-8 format Postgres database appears correctly in
displaytag tables on webpages, but when I request an export in Excel or text
format, all non ASCII characters are garbled. I am using the Mac OS X Platform.
After some exploration, I determined that this is due to the file encoding
being set to Windows Latin-1. Excel documents which were created on Windows
and that I open on my Mac do not have garbled non-ASCII text, so I suspect that
all that is missing in the exported file is some way to indicate to Excel what
encoding has been used. Some of my recent web searches suggest that at least
the more recent versions of Office store characters in little-endian UCS2
encoding.
For text files, it seems to me that UTF-8 would be the the most platform and
language agnostic encoding to use.
