With the Database Activity there still seems to be a problem importing UTF-8 files with BOM (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte-order_mark).
See this forum discussion for an example in Hebrew http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=62251#p559428

What does BOM mean?
BOM stands for "Byte Order Mark".
What is it good for?
It is used for multibyte characters to mark the order in which the bytes appear.
