UTF8 Considerations

The YES3 Exporter II generates UTF-8 encoded text files. While not required by the UTF-8 specification, for compatibility the byte order mark (BOM) is included. We have found that the BOM is needed for Microsoft products like Excel. Rows in exported datasheets are terminated by CRLF (0D0A), which is the expected row termination for Microsoft Excel. Cells within exported datasheets are permitted to include LF (0A) but not CR (0D).
