MMQGIS Plugin error in QGIS 2.18

Question

I've tried to geocode with MMQGIS Plugin a CSV file with addresses (converted from an Excel file) and I get an error:

UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xf1 in position 0: invalid  continuation byte

I've tried to save the CSV file with option UTF-8 but didn't found an option like it:

How can I handle this?

Are there perhaps invalid utf-8 characters in the content of the CSV table? I've just tried to save a CSV from Excel and use MMQgis geocode plugins and it works — Vale, Commented Nov 15, 2016 at 11:41

Libreoffice calc:
You can choose the encoding with libreoffice calc:

MS Excel
Follow: https://help.surveygizmo.com/help/encode-an-excel-file-to-utf-8-or-utf-16
When saving as, click tools -> Web options -> Encoding -> choose the right encoding.

Open CSV file in Notepad and save as with UTF-8 encoding.
