UTF-8 for export registrants list

I would be a great improvement, if registrants lists were in UTF-8 format. I run a Danish website, where 1/3 of the registrants have a Danish letter (e.g æøå) in their names. They all come out quite strangely in Excel unless I manually change the ANSCI code into UTF-8 in another program... This is OK for me, but my event administrators are having problems changing the text coding...

Will this be fixed in the upcoming version?

Thank you for your help!

Hi

Could you please try the solution explained on this forum post joomdonation.com/62-general-discussion/3...rt-registration.html

That didn't work, but I instead used this solution to get is to work in Excel:

header('Content-Encoding: UTF-8');
header('Content-type: text/csv; charset=UTF-8');
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=filename.csv");
header("Pragma: public");
header("Expires: 0");
echo "\xEF\xBB\xBF"; // UTF-8 BOM

The key was the last line (the BOM), which is necessary for Excel to recognize UTF-8. I persume that this is the important line. I found the solution here:
stackoverflow.com/questions/4348802/how-...l-will-read-properly

Would this be possible to integrate the solution above (or something similar) in the next version? It removes the problem viewing UTF-8 in Excel.

It is a bit tiresome to have to update it manually with each new version...
