Well I seem to have found the solution on my own. However, I still plan to send you a donation when the project has been completed. I will also look at some of your extensions and make a couple of purchases.
For those with similar CSV character import problems, try the following solution:
Using Notepad
1. Click “Start,” enter “notepad” in the Search field, and press “Enter” to launch Notepad.
2. Click “File” and then click “Open.” Click the drop-down menu beside the “File Name” field, and then choose “All Files.”
3. Locate the CSV file that you want to convert to UTF-8. Select it and click “Open.” This loads your CSV data onto Notepad.
4. Open the “File” menu again, and click on “Save As.” Enter your preferred file name. Be sure to include the “.csv” file extension.
5. Click the drop-down menu beside “Save as File Type,” and choose “All Files.”
6. Go to “Encoding” and select “UTF-8” from the drop-down menu. Click “Save.”
Fantastic plugin!! Thank you so much for sharing.
