When I create a catalog and save it as a CSV, I often encounter bad characters. Is there is any way to stop this?

Additionally, some comments (book descriptions) have excerpts. Can I eliminate that? In a post processing CSV, I use a code to delete text after the word excerpt and then do a search and replace for Excerpt.
