I've been creating spreadsheets and saving them as .csv.  From there,
I open the .csv in Crimson Editor, save it as a text (.txt) file, and
then upload it to a website.  The first four times it worked great.
Now, today, there's a glitch.  

Some of the entries have special characters -- "fancy quotes" among
other things.  On my latest document, when I pull up the text file in
FF, I get the little box with a question mark instead of the
character.  When I check the encoding on this .txt file, it's UTF-8.
The other four that render properly are ISO-8859-1.  

So I created the .csv again, specifically setting it at ISO-8859-1. It
changed the "fancy quotes" to plain ones -- I don't really care, I
just haven't bothered to figure out how to turn this off in Calc -- so
they are fine.  But the other special character (an e with an accent
over it -- I don't know what it's called) still isn't rendering
properly.  

I'm a little perplexed as to what's changed.  I've changed no settings
in either Calc or Crimson Editor, and I haven't changed my process,
either, that I can think of, since two days ago when it was working
fine.  

I'm also wondering about the encoding.  Do the other four render
properly for me because of my browser settings, etc?  Is it possible
other people with different browsers and/or settings who download the
.txt files will have this problem?  I definitely want to avoid that!
