Hey! Have faced a feature request in my app to support win-1251 and koi8-r character encoding. Is it possible to configure the export with the following encodings or only UTF-8 is supported?

@jmcnamara commented on GitHub (Sep 2, 2021):

Excel only supports UTF-8, so that is the only encoding supported by libxlsxwriter.
