CSV generated from batch class & visualforce pages are not able to be generated with UTF 8 format

My visualforce page downloads excel and csv files which works fine for English but the UTF 8 characters are breaking.For xls I have fixed it up with <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" /> inside <head> tag,but it is unfortunately not working for CSV.Can anyone help me out please?I know that if we use google sheets to view we can be able to see the proper UTF 8 characters ,but if not viewed with Google sheets what could be the possible solution?My code also has a batch class which is generating a csv from Apex code.So in apex how this can be fixed?I have tried with "ContentType  = 'text/csv; charset=UTF-8';"  in the apex controller,but it is not working.Any help will be highly appreciated!!!

When token is missing or expired CORS error returned instead of 401

Hi,

I am developping a Salesforce integration in a web aplication. I can login and request data with the received token. I try to catch the 401 response when the token expires, however I get a CORS error when I don't include the Authorization header or pass in an expired token. Could anyone help me how to solve this? I need to implement a token refresh strategy by listening to a 401 response.

Visualforce CSV file export encoding issue

Hi

Issue is that certain symbols/letters appear broken on the CSV file that has been exported, as by default the encoding is ISO-8859-1.

The export function VS page code piece is like this :
  
<apex:page controller="TestPage" cache="true" contentType="text/csv#filename.csv; charset=UTF-8">

Tried the solutions offered in ..
