importing Bills - character encoding

[tereque]

hi john,

sorry, not 100% sure how to give you the hex.
attached is the csv I used for testing. The string that is causing the 
encoding trouble can be found in 'Invoice Notes' and in 'Description'
here it is:   面料 (not sure whether that encodes correctly inline on 
your endthough)

best and many thanks
...Gunnar
