I have a system that exports a .csv file and some of the rows contain special box characters such that the data looks like this:
Please specify the primary type of opportunity which you’re proposing:
└─ Please specify what type of sport:
└─ What is this person’s vocation?
└── How long have they been in the industry?
However, when I open the file in excel, Excel warps the box characters so that it ends up looking like this:
Please specify the primary type of opportunity which you’re proposing:
└─ Please specify what type of sport:
└─ What is this person’s vocation?
└── How long have they been in the industry?
The file is being saved as plain-text to the user's hard drive, and I can open it in a text editor and see the characters fine, so I know it's something happening when Excel reads in the data.
Any thoughts? How can I prevent this?
在PHP生成的CSV中,我使用utf8_decode()解决了相关列。
Import your csv file as shown in the link below in Excel 2007. Select appropriate Encoding as a result will show expected Data including Special characters. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/microsoft-office/import-text-into-excel-2007/

excel is probably trying to open the file using the wrong encoding; try opening the file from within Excel, and choose a different file encoding; those are probably Unicode characters, and Excel is probably using iso-8859-15 to import.
Choose UTF if possible
