UTF-8 encoidng issue when exporting csv file , JavaScript

I use the below function to export an array to a csv files in JavaScript, but the Chinese characters become messy code with Microsoft Excel 2013 in Windows7.

I open the exported file with a notepad but it displays finely.

function arrayToCSVConvertor(arrData, reportTitle) {

    var CSV='';

    arrData.forEach(function(infoArray, index){

        var dataString = infoArray.join(",");

        dataString= dataString.split('n').join('；');

        CSV += dataString+ "n";

    });



    if (CSV == '') {

        alert("Invalid data");

        return;

    }



    //create a link and click, remove

    var link = document.createElement("a");

    link.id="lnkDwnldLnk";



    //this part will append the anchor tag and remove it after automatic click

    document.body.appendChild(link);



    var csv = CSV;



    var blob = new Blob([csv], { type: ' type: "text/csv;charset=UTF-8"' });//Here, I also tried charset=GBK , and it does not work either

    var csvUrl = createObjectURL(blob);



    var filename = reportTitle+'.csv';



    if(navigator.msSaveBlob){//IE 10

        return navigator.msSaveBlob(blob, filename);

    }else{

        $("#lnkDwnldLnk")

            .attr({

                'download': filename,

                'href': csvUrl

            });

        $('#lnkDwnldLnk')[0].click();

        document.body.removeChild(link);

    }

}

Problem solved by adding BOM at the start of the csv string:

var csv = "ufeff"+CSV;

This is my solution:

var blob = new Blob(["uFEFF"+csv], {

    type: 'text/csv; charset=utf-18'

});
