Two options:

- edit the module code to replace the unicode characters to latin-1 using string replace. Did that before, but the easier option is to:

- save the CSV to disk, open excel, choose import from file, select the file, and in the dialog where you define field delimiter, you now can choose encoding in a dropdown. Choose utf-8 and you should have it correct. Works for me(swedish chars)
