Yes, it’s a pain. However there is a solution to open an UTF-8 CSV file (with Data > From Text and a few clicks), but it’s true that googling something like that is out of the mind of most people.
- oefrha 6y agoI know. But imagine sending a file with patronizing instructions on how to open it, which will still be ignored — the other end will double click on the file, see garbage, and get back to you.

I sincerely do not think the solution is instruct receiving person to install an even less familiar Office alternative.
