I was having the same problem with the AIRSQL i couldn't find how to rencode my csv file...

So i resave the csv in xls and then chose the utf-8 thingy and then just changed the extension back to csv.

i was always wondering why i had an xls file in my source code, which was just left there from the previous reencoding, i guess

hope it helps
