Description

I'm trying to export my issues by clicking "Also available in: CSV" link at the bottom of the list.

In Windows world, UTF8 text files must begin with the 3 bytes 0xEF, 0xBB, 0xBF.
That bytes are called Byte order mark (BOM): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_order_mark

Without them, all Windows software (notepad, Excel, etc) assume the file is ASCII, and displays garbage instead of the international characters. This makes the .CSV unusable unless it's in English.
