Export UTF-8 BOM to .csv in R

Question

I am reading a file through RJDBC from a MySQL database and it correctly displays all letters in R (e.g., נווה שאנן). However, even when exporting it using write.csv and fileEncoding="UTF-8" the output looks like <U+0436>.<U+043A>. <U+041B><U+043E><U+0437><U+0435><U+043D><U+0435><U+0446>(in this case this is not the string above but a Bulgarian one) for Bulgarian, Hebrew, Chinese and so on. Other special characters like ã,ç etc work fine.

I suspect this is because of UTF-8 BOM but I did not find a solution on the net

My OS is a German Windows7.

edit: I tried

con<-file("file.csv",encoding="UTF-8")
write.csv(x,con,row.names=FALSE)

and the (afaik) equivalent write.csv(x, file="file.csv",fileEncoding="UTF-8",row.names=FALSE).
