Hi @divyamv , I find the same error in this issue: https://github.com/carlo/jquery-base64/issues/1.
Maybe need to update the base64 plugin.

You can try this: https://gist.github.com/wenzhixin/09e218c884f4f380b68a, this issue doesn't belong to the category of the bootstrap-table, so close it.

I have tried what wenzihixin suggested " https://gist.github.com/wenzhixin/09e218c884f4f380b68a", now it prints even if I have non English letters. But it messed up in printing in all format except for xml. I get letters such as ž what is not good...

It was working after changing jquery.base64.js from the link https://gist.github.com/wenzhixin/09e218c884f4f380b68a for Amharic(አማርኛ) character

Error received DOM Exception 5 INVALID CHARACTER error on valid base64

Abeto's base64 fixed my issues trying to download to excel using

Better use this fork: https://github.com/hhurz/tableExport.jquery.plugin

And you have to include the modules, for example:

    <script src="/modules/tableExport.jquery.plugin/libs/js-xlsx/xlsx.core.min.js"></script>
    <script src="/modules/tableExport.jquery.plugin/tableExport.min.js"></script>
    <script src="/modules/bootstrap-table/extensions/export/bootstrap-table-export.min.js"></script>
