SUMMARY
An Exchange Server Administrator can use the Microsoft Windows NT Unicode Character Map application to create Comma Separated Value (CSV) text files that contain International characters.

The Unicode Character Map application uses the standard ANSI character set, which is compatible with the Microsoft Exchange Server Administrator program.



MORE INFORMATION
Importing CSV files, which were created using MS-DOS text and the IBM PC Extended Character Set (ECS), will fail to create an object with the correct International characters.
