Weird CSV when there are non-breaking spaces in header columns

Weird CSV when there are non-breaking spaces in header columns

I'm really happy with DataTables and TableTools, and I have it doing just about everything I could want.

However, when I have a table where I put a non-breaking space in column headers, and I export that table to CSV, the non-breaking spaces are translated into odd characters; and I can't find a function for modifying headers when I export. Am I missing something?

    No you aren't missing anything - its not a feature that TableTools currently has - but perhaps should!

    This s where it would need a modification: https://github.com/DataTables/TableTools/blob/master/media/js/TableTools.js#L1607 .
