Default Excel 2003 and Unicode csv files

I open Notepad, paste in "Zürich" (notice the accent on the u), File, Save As
test1.csv, change the encoding to Unicode and hit save. When I open that
file (by double-clicking it), Excel opens the file and it looks fine.

I open Notepad, paste in "Zürich" (notice the accent on the u), File, Save
As test2.csv, change the encoding to UTF-8 and hit save. When I open that
file (by double-clicking it), Excel opens the file and the accented u is
changed by Excel.

I am using Excel 2003 running on XP.

Anyone know if there is a way to open the UTF-8 file without that happening?
