Excel encoding issue
I want to read in Excel-Data (.xlsx) and have a problem with a wrong encoding of special characters. In the Excel-File, portuguese special characters, for example on "A", look like this:

**Á**

However, after reading in the data with Pandas Excel IO, they look like this:

**Ã**

I have no idea why this happens and how to solve this. Any help would be great.
