That's it . I want to open all the files in once (to make replacements). But notepad++ opens them all in ANSI and I have to go through each file and change the encoding to UTF-8.
Download and install this powerful free text editor: Notepad++ Open the file you want to verify/fix in Notepad++ In the top menu select Encoding > Convert to UTF-8 (option without BOM) Save the file.
go to the notepad++ menu settings > preferences > misc. and disable autodetect character encoding as seen at the screenshot below. then go to settings > preferences > new document and set encoding to your prefered encoding.
ANSI and UTF-8 are two types of text encoding. The former is the default encoding that is used when you save text files created in Notepad, the text editor included in the Windows operating system.
In Notepad++ 5.9 there is an option in Settings -> Preferences -> New Document/Default Directory to automatically convert ANSI files to UTF-8 without BOM on open
Settings -> Preferences -> New Document/Default Directory -> UTF-8
