FracLac save table in Unicode?

Hi all,

I'm very new to ImageJ and so I apologize in advance if I'm not providing enough
information for the issue I'm having.

Basically I am using the FracLac plugin to perform a basic fractal analysis of
some images.  When I get the results presented as a table within ImageJ,
everything looks just fine in terms of formatting.  However, when I try to save
the file either as .xls or .txt, I run into a problem.  The characters such as σ (sigma)
and Λ (cap lambda), among others, get changed into the question mark symbol in Excel or any
other program I try to use to read the file.

I've spent a lot of time analyzing the output file in hex/ascii editors, and so
far I *think* the issue is that ImageJ is exporting the data in ascii form
rather than in Unicode.  I tried creating a Macro to solve the issue but I don't
know if that is right.

Any advice would be much appreciated.  Thanks in advance!
