Unlike XML, CSV files don't have a tag or any other option to tell
which encoding the characters are. Hence Word, Excel etc are assuing
the encoding is equal to you computers default encoding (CP1259 in
Germany). Some programms are more intelligent than others and
recognize if certain byte codes are not allowed within the assumed
charset and than ask you (e.g. WORD). You need to output the CSV file
with the encoding you are using on your computer.
