According to the GnuCash Help documentation, section 6.16.5. "Import 
CSV" (https://www.gnucash.org/viewdoc.phtml?rev=4&lang=C&doc=help 
<https://www.gnucash.org/viewdoc.phtml?rev=4&lang=C&doc=help>), the CSV 
importer has a "CSV Import Preview" pane which includes an "Encoding". 
Set this to UTF-8.

If what you author as Startvärde gets imported as Startvärde, that 
sounds like your CSV Import Preview setting for Encoding is actually 
ISO8859/1 or something like that.
