I'm trying to get my head around this. I have created a CSV file:

https://steampunkjunkies.net/it_other.csv

...yet when I import into Amazon, the description is screwed:

https://www.amazon.it/Steampunk-Junkies-alimentazione-connettore-micro-USB/dp/B01CO672AS/

The .csv file shows as "ANSI as UTF-8" for me ("Encoded in UTF8, without BOM" in Notepad++) ... and Excel / LibreCalc show all the characters fine.

I'm at a loss as to where this issue is coming from. Any suggestions are much welcome.

The code is pretty simple: 

open (WRITE_IT,">$CFG->{admin_root_path}/amazon_template_tmp/it_other.
+csv") || die "Cant write $CFG->{admin_root_path}/amazon_template_tmp/
+it_other.csv. Reason: $!";
binmode(WRITE_IT, ":utf8");
print WRITE_IT $the_contents;
close(WRITEIT);

The mySQL table is stored in UTF-8, so there shouldn't be any need to convert.

Thanks!

Andy
