More details. Below are the http headers from AdWords and from Baidu for pulling CSV files via http GET that have Chinese characters in them. Note that AdWords forces the character set to UTF-8, where Baidu doesn't specify it. I think this is pertinent, because I can tell Java what character set to interpret the data as for the Baidu download, and that seems to work. But it is also important to remember that the only character set the Baidu API has to deal with is for Chinese characters, whereas AdWords has to deal with all character sets. As we start pulling other non-Latin character set performance data in CSV format files, this is going to become an important need.
