I have been looking for it though in the issues and found this: #172996: CSV files not Unicode/UTF-8 aware. However, as this is D5 I did not want to change the overall parameter to D6. If indeed should be there, please close this issue.

UTF-16LE did not make the job for me. I tried UTF-8 and it does only in some computers/editors. For example, I am using Open Office 2 (still) and when trying to open the file, it asks me in which character encoding I would like to open the file. I then select UTF-8 for Hebrew support, and it opens the file just right.

However, when opening on other computers and/or with Excel (probably any version) there is no dialog box which asks you which encoding to choose, and it opens the Gibrish-way...

Any help? Thanks!

Try out the latest versions of Webform. Basically CSV files simple DO NOT support UTF8. You have to use TSV (Tab separated values) to get UTF8 to work, which is why it is the default and not CSV.
