Encoding problem

This is a follow up from this conversation addressing a slightly different problem which had become quite messy.

There were a few problems pinpointed but the one that is causing the most trouble is the encoding problem. So here it is:

I loop through a number of text files (a sample is attached below) and convert them to a dataset which looks fine. However due to the encoding problem when I write and read a CSV file everything gets messed up. I have done some trial and error but cannot find a fix to the problem and this is as upstream as I can possibly go. Here is the XML:
