Are you using Microsoft Excel? If so, try with OpenOffice.
Log into DB with phpmyadmin and make sure the collation of the database and tables is UTF8

Yes using M. Excel.
The database and tables are also in UTF-8 already.
Then it is a Microsoft excel issue. Microsoft uses it's own character set, window-1252 (or something like that). You can force Excel to use UTF8, with some options but OpenOffice works just as well as Microsoft Suite and uses UTF8 by default, and it's open source <!-- s:-) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":-)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:-) -->

Ok thanks. Will see what I can do on that side.
