Unicode, UTF-8, ASCII, and ReadFile SC

[admin]

But would that explain why the fresh install behave differently than the non-fresh install? If I did the same exact thing that I laid out, the fresh install never changed back to the correct characters. It remained gibberish the entire time.

Because this is unticked by default:
Configuration | Preview | Text preview: | UTF-8 auto-detection

Ah - didn't know UTF-x can be represented by a codepage number Thanks to help understanding.

Maybe, for people like me, you could give this hint in documentation?
(I.e.: UTF-8 = 65001)

Or just link them this page:

Code: Select all

EDIT: Oh finally, what about the Match Unicode option? What exactly is it supposed to do? Since it's not doing what I or DmFedorov expected it to do.

Think Don is running away from this question

So it is, I've to move on for now.

BTW, just made "UTF-8 auto-detection" to factory default.

As I wouldn't have expected UTF here I wouldn't have looked there

In between the time I had a little look at wikipedia for UTF-8 and for codepages. I think in the moment I understand the basics now.
But don't know how long this will last - my problem when I rarely need it

Thanks. Your link was very useful. I found a solution how to make function ReadFile() read content of UNICODE file.
