Can’t access the file @hungdev but most likely you’re specifying a UTF-8 file without the BOM. Without the BOM, Excel defaults to the local codepage. To force UTF-8 treatment, pass the option codepage: 65001 to read or readFile

@SheetJSDev Can you please let me know what should be done in case of write to UTF-8 with BOM? Below is the sample of the code I am using `this.workBookCreator.setReport(report); this.workBookCreator.setTranslations(translations); this.workBookCreator.setReportMetadata(reportMetadata); this.workBookCreator.setColumnsToIncludeInReport(columnsToIncludeInReport); this.workBookCreator.setTypeHints(typeHints); this.workBookCreator.setCustomFields(customFields);

    let workbook: WorkBook = this.workBookCreator.getWorkbook(workBookName);

    return this.xlsxModule.write(workbook, {
        bookType: 'csv',
        type: "string"
    });`

When I try to open this file in Excel it is not considering UTF-8 and the special characters are broken
