Opening Unicode files

Submitted by camomiletea on Wednesday, 24 May, 2006 - 23:22

When I open a UTF-8 file without a BOM (Byte Order Mark) in jEdit, I see weird squiggly characters (if you know what I mean) in place of expected Cyrillic. I didn't find a place where I could specify the encoding. I also wanted to have the ability to specify 'no BOM' on any UTF-8 files I may create in future.

I was actually able to type in some Russian, but that isn't enough. I need to be able to open Unicode files created in different applications too.

Any ideas?

For reference, this is the fi

For reference, this is the file that I'm having this problem with: http://homepages.ius.edu/kaleksan/files/pgdp/deti/deti.html

I haven't tried opening any Unicode files with BOM.

This is what I did: download your semple file. Open jEdit, right click inthe File System Browser, and chose "Encoding". There disabled auto-detect and chose "UTF-8" as the encoding, opened the file and it displayed OK.

You can see the encoding in the status bar at the bottom right.
