It looks like as soon as you want to use non-ASCII characters in your suggested filename things get a bit crazy. Perhaps our code should implement the approach suggested in this article:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/93551/how-to-encode-the-filename-para...

Namely: 

  $filename = $_GET['file']; //this string is already decoded
if (strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],"MSIE"))
   $filename = rawurlencode($filename);
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.$filename.'"');

Sorry for the lack of attention to your issue, please accept my apologies.

Drupal 7 is going to be end-of-life'd by the community in approximately 1 month.

As such, I am closing all non-critical looking, non-PHP compatibility issues for Views Data Export to tidy up the issue queues and reduce the noise. You can read about this on #3492246: Close down Drupal 7 issues.

If you feel like this issue has been closed by mistake, please do comment about re-opening it.
If you feel like the ticket is still relevant for the 8.x-1.x version of the module, then please search for a duplicate issue first, and if there really isn't one (and you've looked properly) then change the version on the ticket and re-open.

Thanks to everyone involved in this issue: for reporting it, and moving it along, it is truly appreciated.
The Drupal community wouldn't be what it is today without your involvement and effort, so I'm sorry that we couldn't get this issue resolved. Hopefully we'll work together in a future issue though, and get that one resolved :)
