Parsing to csv: incorrect encoding display?

Question

Python

Hello. Wrote a parser in Scrapy that parses LinkedIn and saves to a CSV file. Everything would be fine, but the encoding is not saved and letters that are not in the Latin alphabet are displayed incorrectly.
I save to a file, pre-writing encode :

place = sel.xpath('//*[@id="headline"]/dd[1]/span/text()').extract()[0].encode('utf-8').strip()

But in the end, the encoding is still incorrect. Can anyone advise something?
