Chinese character encode error

[ FlexSim 18.1.1 ]

Hello,

When I export table to excel, all Chinese characters are unreadable.

Type Chinese character in global table or statistics collector are fine.

Import excel that contains Chinese character is fine.

Export global table with excel tool, export statistics collector table to csv, copy and paste using hotkey results wrong Chinese characters.

How Flexsim handlers Chinese character? Such as unicode, UTF-8? I tried to translate the mangled string by using decode tool but still mangled.

This is a known bug on the dev list.

For a workaround, see When I export from the Global Table to Excel , the language messys code!
