Answer 2

Try this, set UTF-8 before getting result for both mysqli query and header

1. $mysqli->set_charset("utf8");

and

2.  header('Content-type: application/csv');
    header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=' . $filename);
    header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: UTF-8");
    header('Pragma: no-cache');
