| + | UltraEdit / UEStudio provides support for Unicode (16-bit wide character, or UTF-16) and UTF-8 files. You can directly edit UTF-8 and UTF-16 files and convert them between ANSI and Unicode formats. UltraEdit / UEStudio will attempt to detect the file's encoding type when the file is loaded. It will look for the FF FE mark for Unicode (UTF-16) files. For UTF-8 it will look for one of the following three occurrences: | ||
| + | |||
| + | # [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_order_mark Byte order mark (BOM)]: EF BB BF. | ||
| + | # String occurrences "charset=utf-8" or "encoding=utf-8" in the file. | ||
| + | # The occurrence of valid UTF-8 multi-byte characters in the first 64KB of the file. | ||
| + | |||
| + | If the file is determined to be Unicode, it will be treated as such and the [[status bar]] will indicate this. A Unicode file saved in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endianness big endian] format will be indicated with "UTF-16BE". A Unicode file saved in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endianness little endian] format will be indicated with "UTF-16". | ||
| + | |||
| + | If the file is determined to be UTF-8, it will be treated as such and on open, it will be converted internally to Unicode (16-bit) for editing. The [[status bar]] will indicate this with "UTF-8". When the file is saved, it will be converted back from Unicode to UTF-8 and saved in this format. | ||
| + | |||
| + | You can convert files between different encoding formats using the two following methods: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Via the "Encoding" drop down in the [[Save as]] dialog | ||
| + | * Via the [[Conversions (encoding)|Conversions]] drop down in the [[:Category:Advanced tab|Advanced tab]]. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The encoding selector in the [[status bar]] only changes the encoding used to ''view'' the file. It does not actually change the file's underlying encoding type. | ||
