If it is indeed the case that your accented characters are coming out
in ISO8859-1, consider converting the character set in your input
first:
csv_data = Iconv.iconv('utf-8', 'ISO_8859-1', file.read).to_s,
Frankly the whole thing seems rather like black magic to me, but the
above seems to solve the problem I was having with Excel files in a
CSV importer that I've recently created.
