st: Importing variable names with French accents via -insheet-

Dear all,
We are using Stata 13 on Windows.
I know that Stata supports accented variable names :
gen année = "test"
will work perfectly for instance.
But it seems that importing data with accented variable names from a cvs file though -insheet- does not work: accented letters are literally lost in translation. For example "année" in the cvs file become "anne" in Stata memory.
Any workarounds or suggestions?
Many thanks in advance,
Charles Vellutini
