In some cases, Specify automatically adds · the column heading after exporting data from a query (e.g. Preferred Taxon · Common Name).

When imported in Excel without specifying encoding, it originally appears as Class · Full Name.

In other applications (such as WordPad), it is shown as Preferred Taxon · Common Name.
