CSV Character encoding for PS

I'm having a problem where Photoshop isn't properly reading french accents such as é. When I apply datasets, the é is sometimes displayed as garbage, É, or sometimes even È. I'm definitely not bilingual, but I had a user tell me that no accent is better than the wrong accent over the e.

Can anyone shed some light on my character encoding issues?

Thanks!

Maybe I'm the only one having the problem.

I guess it could be the method in which I am building the CSV from a database, too.

This is just a wild guess, but when you say the accented chars are sometimes incorrectly displayed are you using the same font?

Hmm. I've never tried a different font on the text replacement field because it supports the chars that aren't working. I'm pretty sure the data is changing encoding along the steps somewhere. If I know which encoding photoshop expects to see, I can start changing my code to use it.
Currently I'm using UTF-8.
