Need option "Convert to CSV UTF-8"

[vantanco]

My obsidian language is vietnamese and when I export it give me this error, can you add the option for csv format ?

Can you provide a sample note with a table where this behaviour occurs, please, so that I can try to understand the problem? Thanks!

The problem here is that my language need some special format like utf-8 in order to get the file name right, you can try this phrase as the note title and export it to see the problem "Đây là dòng test của note"

Thanks for your contribution! I have the same issue. Actually if I set “copy to clipboard, too”, and then paste, it will function well. It's because the exported file is encoded in other forms. My language also need utf-8 format. For example, the Chinese phrase "你是谁？你想要什么？你能做什么？" is displayed in this odd way-“???????????????????????€?????????????????€??????”

Unfortunately, I don't see an option for creating a file with explicitly saying it should be UTF-8 encoded in the vault.create method here. The DataWriteOptions only seem to have something to do with ctime and mtime, nothing with the character encoding. Plus, nothing is documented there. Its all just guess-work. 😞
If any other Obsidian plugin developer with that knowledge might want to help – be my guest.

Until this is fixed, I found a workable workaround that might help. Try loading the CSV file in VSCode. It seems to be able to handle the encoding a little better than say, Excel. You can then cut and past the data from VSCode to Excel and it might look better.
It works for me, properly converting ALL emoji's in Excel, which is what I was struggling with.
Hope this helps!
(Great plugin, BTW!)
