Most of the reports that Moodle generates can be downloaded as Excel files. User logs and grades are two examples. This setting lets you choose the encoding for those Excel files.
Your choices are Unicode and Latin. The default is Unicode, because this character set includes many more characters than Latin. In many cases, Latin encoding doesn't offer enough characters to completely represent a non-English language.
