$_csvEncoding= 'UTF-8';
        $_dataEncoding = 'UTF-8';
        $_newline = "\r\n";
        $_eol = "\r\n";
        $_bom = true;
        $timestamp = time();
        $this->response = $this->response->withDownload('test-'.$timestamp.'.csv');
        $this->set(compact('data', '_dataEncoding' ,'_csvEncoding', '_newline', '_eol', '_bom'));
        $this->viewBuilder()
        ->setClassName('CsvView.Csv')
        ->setOptions([
            'serialize' => 'data',
            'header' => $header,
'extract' => $extract,
]);

    How about trying to add a BOM to the CSV file?

    How to do this is described in the following article.

    It is written in Japanese, so please translate if necessary.
