Notepad defaults to ANSI encoding, as I think it always has. UTF-8 is an option, and it does seem to try to notice the original encoding of the file, when editing old files, but when creating a new one.... ANSI. Thanks. Is "ANSI" always an eight-bit ASCII-compatible encoding?

I wouldn't trust an answer to this question that didn't come from someone that used Windows with Chinese, Japanese, or Korean, as their default language for the install. So I don't have a trustworthy answer to give. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
