This is an issue specifically with the .xls format — it doesn’t handle non-Latin characters very well (xls does not support UTF-8). In the next version (EE 3.2) we will be switching to .csv exclusively, which handles UTF-8 much better. In the meantime, it might be worth trying to open your export in OpenOffice if you are trying to do it in Excel.
