Maybe the following ?
# add BOM to suppor CSVs in MS Excel
file_obj.write(u'\ufeff'.encode('utf8'))
from django-queryset-csv.
It's almost certainly this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_order_mark . Not sure where it's being added though.

Thanks @bhuber @ldkingvivi, you are both correct.
It was decided to always add this in order to support opening CSVs correctly using microsoft excel. This has been tested to work with at least some versions of excel. What program are you using to open your csvs? I have tested opening an export using libreoffice, emacs, and cat. None of them print the BOM.

Microsoft Excel for Mac 2011
from django-queryset-csv.
if I remove those 2 line codes, it works great, so pretty sure that's the place
from django-queryset-csv.
Unfortunately it looks like there's no way to export a utf-8 encoded csv that will open correctly in excel for mac as well as excel for windows.
Since the current implementation works (wth the added BOM) for Excel for Windows (the common case) as well as with other popular spreadsheet programs and text editors, it will be left as-is.
Please read this post for more information, including instructions for converting CSVs to a format ready for Excel for Mac:
