Export contacts in Arabic

[NoraLesterMurad]

Hi all. We chose CiviCRM because it accommodates Arabic characters and we've had no problem with Arabic except that when we export contacts, the Arabic characters show as garbage. I guess that's because excel doesn't accommodate Arabic? Is there another way to print our contacts so we can read them?

Same Problem with Czech Republic Characters.  Any hint how to solve this prolbem when exporting to a cvs file?
Data shows fine in CiviCRM

Can you check whether the exported CSV files open properly in, say, OpenOffice.org?

There is also a Legacy Encoding setting in the localisation admin screen which you should verify has the proper encoding.
