We have a partner that exports UTF-8 CSV files, and is experiencing the same
thing as the author of this article:
https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/a-quick-tale-about-feff-the-invisible-character-cd25cd4630e7/
In short, Excel is inserting an invisible UTF-8 character at the start of the
file, so that the column name "cardnumber" is actually named
"\x{feff}cardnumber", causing "cardnumber" to be blank.
A simple solution is provided here:
