Mysql for excel кодировка

I try to export one of MySQL table into excel file but polish letters aren’t displaying correctly
It is displayed:
Bre¶ć, Białoru¶
but should:
Brześć, Białoruś

How can I fix this code? It is really anoying that polish letters aren’t displayed. Where could be a problem?

<?php

 $DB_Server = "localhost";      //your MySQL Server 
$DB_Username = "******";                 //your MySQL User Name 
$DB_Password = "*****";             //your MySQL Password 
$DB_DBName = "*******";             //your MySQL Database Name 
$DB_TBLName = "********";               //your MySQL Table Name  

 $filename = "excelfilename";         //File Name

 //create MySQL connection
 $sql = "Select * from $DB_TBLName";
 $Connect = @mysql_connect($DB_Server, $DB_Username, $DB_Password)
 or die("Couldn't connect to MySQL:<br>" . mysql_error() . "<br>" . mysql_errno());
 //select database
 $Db = @mysql_select_db($DB_DBName, $Connect)
 or die("Couldn't select database:<br>" . mysql_error(). "<br>" . mysql_errno());
 //execute query
 $result = @mysql_query($sql,$Connect)
 or die("Couldn't execute query:<br>" . mysql_error(). "<br>" . mysql_errno());
 $file_ending = "xls";

//header info for browser
 header("Content-Type: application/xls");
 header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$filename.xls");
 header("Pragma: no-cache");
 header("Expires: 0");

/*******Start of Formatting for Excel*******/
 //define separator (defines columns in excel & tabs in word)
 $sep = "t"; //tabbed character

//start of printing column names as names of MySQL fields
 for ($i = 0; $i < mysql_num_fields($result); $i++) {
 echo mysql_field_name($result,$i) . "t";
 }
 print("n");
 //end of printing column names

//start while loop to get data
 while($row = mysql_fetch_row($result))
 {
 $schema_insert = "";
 for($j=0; $j<mysql_num_fields($result);$j++)
 {
 if(!isset($row[$j]))
 $schema_insert .= "NULL".$sep;
 elseif ($row[$j] != "")
 $schema_insert .= "$row[$j]".$sep;
 else
 $schema_insert .= "".$sep;
 }
 $schema_insert = str_replace($sep."$", "", $schema_insert);
 $schema_insert = preg_replace("/rn|nr|n|r/", " ", $schema_insert);
 $schema_insert .= "t";
 print(trim($schema_insert));
 print "n";
 }
 ?>

You have to write what is charset of you database. If it is UTF8 try to execute query «SET NAMES utf8» after connection is established ;

And be shure that encoding of you page is UTF8. You can check encoding in Notepad++ utility
