Hi heliex, We used to import a fresh data in the form of csv file from some other system(Inmagic) and we preprocess the data using open office and saved using UTF-8 At this stage some French characters, apostrophe etc. can be translated or viewed properly. The problem happens when we exported the data from dspace in to csv usually on author and abstract fields . we used Microsoft Excel 2013 or open office to edit the file.

Sisay, you must explain in more detail how did you end up with that character. E.g. is it found in a CSV file you exported from DSpace? If so, which field is it in and what was the original value of that field as you can see it in DSpace? What language was the value in? What encoding does your language normally use? What tool are you using to open the CSV file? What happens when you try to open it in a text editor (not a word processor, thoug!) and which text editor did you use?
