This might help someone who gets an error when importing work items from a CSV file and see an error that mentions a character set "IBM424_ltr".

(self-answer from Anthony):

This is because the csv file has been set to ANSI by default, not UTF8 or UTF16 as RTC expects when doing in import.

To fix this - open your CSV file in Notepad and Save-As.  This allows you the option to set the character set to UTF-8 explicitly.

The problem is discussed here: https://jazz.net/jazz/web/projects/Rational%20Team%20Concert#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.viewWorkItem&id=235196
