Beta 5.0.5 built-in editor UTF

Hello,

Is it possible the built-in editor to fully support UTF encoding? We have a problem to display Chinese and Japanese characters properly. When we try to enter/edit some text, only question marks are displayed.

Thanks!

What UTF? UTF8, UTF16, UTF32? Does your file have BOM? Can you attach an example file you are having problem with? Does the problem appear, when you create a new file, File(s) > New > File?

This regards UTF-8 files properly created/saved in Eclipse or any other editor except WinSCP internal one.

Thanks. But can you attach the file as text, so I can try it for myself? The best is, if you ZIP it first, so it does not get altered while posting.

I have the exact same problem. Accented characters do not display properly in the internal editor. When I see the same files in any other editor, or even in nano through Putty, the characters show correctly.

I am using UTF-8 throughout the chain, from the remote application to the managed server.

Here we go with the test file.

The file does not have a BOM. WinSCP currently defaults to Ansi encoding. I'll change this.
