Unicode in Excel 2000

[Peck, Jon]

A little off topic...

Does anyone know whether Excel can read a Unicode CSV-format file?  Although
such a file opens in Word 2000 fine, Excel seems terminally confused,
whether fed utf-16 or utf-8.  The only documentation I could find seems to
consider Unicode files and csv files as separate categories.

TIA
