The problem is out-of-support and I've used it for years. And it works perfectly... except.. as you deduced it puts that stuff in when it is exporting to a CSV file. I don't know how to upload the broken data. When I open it in my text editor, it has no problem with it but when I go and save the file the UTF-8 is all still there. I loaded it into Excel, it loaded fine and showed no anomalies, but when I saved it from excel all the UTF-8 stuff was still there. There's no pattern I can tell for why there are the byte-order-markers strewn through the file.
What should I do either to upload something to here with example probelmatic stuff and/or be able just to brute-force fix it?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
