I am using Joomla 4.0.4 and RO CSVI 8.0. I am having trouble exporting unicode characters (greek). My headers are ok but the content is ????????
The tables are utf8mb4_unicode_ci, the @@character_set_database is utf8 and the @@collation_database is utf8_genereal_ci

I try to open it with notepad++ or simple notepad but the problem persists.

Any suugestions?

No, its not that. I tried debugging and sent an email to myself with the $contents before the writeOutput function athe email came with ???
So I went to the file:
administrator/components/com_csvi/models/exports.php and changed:
$this->pdo = Connection::new(
'mysql:host=' . $config->get('host') . ';dbname=' . $config->get('db'),
$config->get('user'),
$config->get('password')
);

to

$this->pdo = Connection::new(
'mysql:host=' . $config->get('host') . ';charset=utf8;dbname=' . $config->get('db'),
$config->get('user'),
$config->get('password')
);

and it works.

So you must take it into consideration somehow.

Thanks

Hello,
The problem with unicode characters must be because of the program you are using to open the export file. Try opening your export file with OpenOffice/LibreOffice and see if that makes a difference.

Hello,
Thank you for posting the solution. Can you tell us the MySQL version you are running? To get that, on Joomla System menu >> System information >> System information tab check Database Version. Post the version here to check
Kind regards,

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback. We will include the charset fix in the upcoming release. The charset will be set to utf8mb4 as this is the same one Joomla uses.
Kind regards,
