Exporting to CSV (using built in tools) - incorrect characters

When I export data from a screen using built-in show-csv-button="true", the application prints incorrect characters on places of special characters (the EUR sign, accent marks). Can I fix it by changing character set?

This seems to be an issue of managing the way MS Excel loads CSV. Opening it directly from browser downloads causes the problem. When I import the file in a standard way, letting Excel check the character set, data is OK.

Using Excel's import utility, it recognizes the UTF-8.

When opening from OS, 1250: Central European is used.
