Is there a way to export special characters (eg accented letters) and emojis from a Kibana table to CSV format? Whenever I export a data table with special characters and emojis in the text as a CSV report, the csv renders these symbols in an indecipherable format. For example, ❤ turns into ‚Äö√π¬ß√î‚àè√® in the csv. ---

> For example, ❤ turns into ‚Äö√π¬ß√î‚àè√® in the csv. What would you expect it to be? A hexadecimal Unicode value of an emoji? If so, I can't find Kibana does it. Would you mind creating a [feature request](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new?assignees=&labels=&template=Feature_request.md)? ---
