Importing CSV on Mac with WindowsANSI encoding?

I am attempting to import a CSV file on a Mac that is encoded with WindowsANSI. The CSV does contain an ASCII character - chr(183) - that I need to preserve so that I can locate it on the Mac and split the field. Is this possible?

Sure
just make sure you read the data & define the encoding correctly
