[Export to Excel 2013]Encoding error

I have tried the export to excel from this link; https://github.com/bcit-ci/CodeIgniter/w...Excel-2013. It sounds good until return data included Japanese characters (Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji). It returned me "ă‚­ăƒƒăƒ”ăƒ¼",.. or something like this,... How can I fix it?

@Anyone meet the same problem above
Please add the following line right after 2 lines header setting:
echo chr(0xEF) . chr(0xBB) . chr(0xBF);

Regards!

Make sure all your data is set to utf8 and also that your database is set to utf8 utf8_general_ci or utf8_unicode_ci
