[GNC] Importing Accounts with non-English Characters

[viking2ev at san.rr.com]

I downloaded v4.10, but the bug remains. It is still not possible to import *accounts* using a CSV file (encoded in UTF-8) with non-English characters.
Is there any workaround? I read in the bug report that importing a CSV file encoded in windows 1252 may work. However, I have no idea how to save my CSV file using Excel and windows 1252 encoding.

Quite an old bug from 2017. Is there a workaround to be able to import accounts with non-English characters?

I am also not able to /manually/ create a new account including non-English characters. For example, the letter "å" can be typed here by pressing "Alt-0229". However, it doesn't work when trying to type this letter in the Account name for a New Account. 
Is this another bug?
