          if(inviteData.getItemType() == TaskDataClass.SECTION){
              dataThis.add(new String[] {inviteData.getName()});
          }else{
              dataThis.add(new String[] {inviteData.getName(), inviteData.getFamilyName(),String.valueOf(inviteData.getNoOfInvites()),String.valueOf(inviteData.getApprove()),inviteData.getEmail(),inviteData.getAddress(),String.valueOf(inviteData.getVegetarian()),String.valueOf(inviteData.getVegan()),String.valueOf(inviteData.getDisabled()),String.valueOf(inviteData.getChild()),String.valueOf(inviteData.getBabies()),String.valueOf(inviteData.getInVitationSent()),String.valueOf(inviteData.getActuallyReached()),inviteData.getGigt(),inviteData.getPhone()});

You don't specify encoding anywhere. You should always explicitly specify it when you write or read strings to/from a file.

I'm pretty sure that the CSVWriter you use has a method to fix the encoding.

I have not any method to set encoding type in CSVWriter. – Girish Bhutiya Oct 29 '13 at 10:31
Then switch libraries or patch it if it's open source. – meredrica Oct 29 '13 at 13:00
