[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chinarabbit:
I figured out a work around!! :cool:

I'm not sure which step was the most important, i suspect a few.. so here is what I did:

- I had a CSV File of my contacts

- I Changed the CSV to *.txt, since more programs readily support Unicode in TXT files

- I Opened the TXT file in Notepad, & did a "Save As" in Unicode UTF-8 Encoding, also *.txt

- I rolled back to Office 2007 from 2013 because of the Language incompatibility & Language packs apparently needed, and the removal of support, I suspected it also made things difficult for other work-arounds to get unicode working properly..

- I Opened Access 2007, Clicked "External Data", under "Import", then Selected "Text", then I browsed to my Unicode UTF-8 TXT file & Click OK

- IMMEDIATELY click "Advanced" on the bottom left, Click the "Code Page" drop-down box, and scroll down & Select "UTF-8", then Click OK

- Click "Delimited", then "Next"

- Tick "First Row Contains Field Names", Tick the "Comma" Radio Button, then select > " < as the Text Qualifier (your format may vary) & Click Next

- Select "No Primary Key"

- Continue Clicking Next until you get to Finish

- Highlight the Entire Table

- Go to "External Data > Export > Text File"

- Name it something *.CSV

- DESELECT "Export Data with Formatting & Layout" & Click OK

- IMMEDIATELY click "Advanced" on the bottom left, Click the "Code Page" drop-down box, and scroll down & Select "UTF-8", then Click OK

- Be sure "Delimited" is selected, click Next

- Tick "Include Field Names on First Row", Tick the "Comma" Radio Button, then select > " < as the Text Qualifier, & Click Next

- Click Finish

- Type "Contacts" in the address bar of a Windows Explorer Window

- Click "Import" on the bar

- Click CSV, & Click "Import"

- Browse to your New Unicode UTF-8 CSV File from Access & Click "Next"

- Map Fields to the closest similar field.. Include Pager, Web Page, Mobile, Name (First Name), Surname, Email, Home & Business Phone, Fax & Notes, or whatever Fields you think you might have ever added something to

- Click "Finish" and wait for the Import

- Select All, then click "Export" on the bar

- Select "vCards" & Click "Export"

- Browse to a Location & Create a New Folder for your vCards there & Click OK - Wait for it to complete exporting

- Right-click in the folder, go to Lopesoft File Menu Tools > "Command Line from Here"

- Type or Paste in: copy *.vcf ContactsUnicode.vcf Then hit Enter & wait for it to Complete

- Copy the new file "ContactsUnicode.vcf" to a new Sub-folder, then send it to your phones Internal Storage

- If you try to import these directly into Android Contacts at this point, you will fail to read the Unicode Properly.

- Open the free app "vCardIO"

- In the Import Window, browse to your ContactsUnicode.vcf file, then Click "Import"

- Wait for it to complete the Import..

- The Import is NOT in your Android "Phone Contacts", but if you open Android Contacts & click the Menu button, then go to "Contacts to Display" then click "All Contacts" they will show up, WITH the Unicode intact... I guess they are in vCardIO's own directory.. not sure now..

- & Voila! Unicode Contacts! :cowboy:
