[Koha] Importing Patrons: Cannot parse UTF8 characters in csv-file

[Marc Nürnberger]

Dear all,

Is there a way to import UTF8-encoded csv-files containing characters 
beyond the ascii-rage, i.e. umlauts, diacritcs, or asian characters?

At the first problematic character in a file, I get the following 
error analysis:

Line 3 could not be parsed!
5,20080006,Möller,firstname,title,......

In this example the "ö" causes the error.

Best regards,
Marc
