Fix CSV Accent Encoding
Budget: ₹1,500 – ₹12,500 INR
My .csv file opens in Microsoft Excel with all accented characters—é, ñ, ü, and similar—showing up as garbled text. I need someone who understands text-encoding issues to clean this up so every accent displays perfectly when I load the file in Excel.
Scope of work
• Identify the current encoding that is causing the issue.
• Convert or resave the file to the correct format (likely UTF-8 or UTF-16, but I’m open to your recommendation).
• Return a working .csv and a brief note explaining what you changed so I can repeat the fix on future files.
Acceptance criteria
• All accented characters render correctly in Microsoft Excel without any extra steps on my side.
• No data, formulas, or column structure are altered during the conversion.
If you can turn this around quickly, please let me know your estimated timeframe.
