If it is UFT-8 decoding issue, you can follow links in the comments section. In my case,I was generating .cvs file in laravel framework, I got that Issue. I just added the Following code before fwrite, my problem was solved.

You can try Following before:

ob_end_clean();
ob_start();
fwrite($handle, $name."\n");
fclose($handle);

Which "Clean (erase) the output buffer and turn off output buffering" as per the Link

Thanks for answer but still not working :( <?php if(isset($_POST['myname'])) { $name = $_POST['myname']; $handle = fopen('names.csv', 'a'); ob_end_clean(); ob_start(); fwrite($handle, $name."\n"); fclose($handle); } ?>

seems that your encoding is wrong. you can convert it by using iconv or utf-encode on $name.

for broken utf8-strings, have a look at ForceUTF8

This is not an answer, this is a comment. If you can't post comments yet, gain more reputation first. Please don't bypass the system.
his/her problem is wrong encoding (as clearly shown in the example) and the functions given in my answer would solve that. adding legit questions should not be a problem! so it INDEED IS an answer. I edited it to make it clear. If you still not accept it...thanks for not understanding -.-
