Research direction

Reproduce the issue by selecting UTF-16 for CSV downloads on both the downloads page and the “small downloads” menu. Trace those two download entry points and verify that the resulting CSV is UTF-16 rather than UTF-8 in both cases.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

When selecting utf-16 as a download option for csv, the user will be served a utf-8 file to download. Happens both on the downloads page and on the 'small downloads' (<1,000) menu.
