All:
I can enter UTF-8 characters using the ever so easy to remember "CTRL+SHIFT+u ... four digits ... ENTER" method, but it won't save:
"An error occurred while converting the file from UTF-8 in "ISO-8859-1". The file remains unsaved."
Is there a solution? Actually I don't even need UTF, but I would like to add, say ASCII #127 or another ASCII extended character.
Hi,
Probably to best solution in 2021 is to just switch the file to use UTF-8 (which should be the default IMO, even on Windows).
Per Document: Document->Set Encoding->Unicode->Unicode (UTF-8)
Default: Edit->Preferences->Files->Default Encoding
That's what it always has been, yet when I set the encoding for the document itself, everything is fine, so go figger.
Changing the global default does not change the encoding for files already open, thats why you had to change it for the file as well.
Cheers Lex
Thanks Matt.
