Questions
How do I open a CSV file without Excel?
Choose the file here to see it as a table in the browser, then search or sort it.
Why does Arabic text show as strange symbols?
The file was saved in an encoding other than UTF-8. The tool tries Windows-1256 by itself, and you can pick it from the encoding list.
Why is every row in one column?
The chosen delimiter does not match the file. Pick “Automatic”, or try semicolon or tab.
Does the downloaded file open correctly in Excel?
Yes. It is saved as UTF-8 with a byte order mark, which lets spreadsheet programs read Arabic and other scripts.
