Issue with MS Excel #33

Description

Hi All,

I'm experiencing an issue where the generated CSV columns can't be rendered correctly in MS Excel.
I tried some solutions in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30368173/ruby-how-to-generate-csv-files-that-have-excel-friendly-encoding, but they didn't work.

The one that worked was not using the CSV Shaper:

BOM_PREFIX = "\xEF\xBB\xBF".freeze
self.response_body = CSV.generate("\uFEFF") do |csv|
 csv << [BOM_PREFIX+ "Text a", "Text b", "Text æ", "Text ø", "Text å", "£999.99"]
end

With the codes above, all characters are shown correctly in MS Excel.

I'm wondering if there are any ways to achieve this within CSV Shaper?

Thanks.
