in reply to UTF-8 mapping CSV file

Why did you not post any example code of how you "parse" this CSV file? Does the CSV file contain a Byte-Order-Mark? Do you use a parsing module?

CSV files do not have any means of "storing" the encoding other than having a BOM, which does not support all known encodings. The sender should tell you what the encoding is. Guessing is fragile.


Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn
