Peculiarity CSV and text export (BOM)

CSV is a plain text file. MS Excel export to CSV in system locale. If such file will be opened on machine with other locale, you could get broken text.

We allow to choose encoding. It needs adding of additional byte order mark (BOM) character. You could see it in the beginning of text file.

All most popular applications like Notepad, WordPad, MS Word, MS Excel support BOM. They will show the file in correct encoding without additional symbols.
