Our engineering team reviewed this and were able to reproduce what you are seeing. They noted that the CSV file itself contains the correct characters; it is only when using Excel that the characters become garbled. Try opening the CSV file in a text editor or other application and let me know if that's not working.

I think what you are saying is "there is a bug with multi-byte characters in the CSV download feature." I will ask the engineering team to take a look.

It works! I got the data from a editor and then put into excel correctly. Thanks for your support.
