I have converted a .txt file from ASCII to UTF-8 using UltraEdit. However, I am not sure how to verify if it is in UTF-8 format in Windows environment.
Thank you!
In Visual Studio, you can select "File > Advanced Save Options..." The "Encoding:" combo box will tell you specifically which encoding is currently being used for the file.
To verify if a file passes an encoding such as ascii, iso-8859-1, utf-8 or whatever then a good solution is to use the 'iconv' command. I have tested it, and it can and does fail.
Open the file with Notepad++ and will see on the right down corner the encoding table name. And in the menu encoding you can change the encoding table and save the file.
ASCII files are plain text files. They can have extensions like . txt or have no extension at all. BINARY files are programs or other non-text files saved in the file format of the application that created them or archived or compressed file formats.
Open the file in Notepad. Click 'Save As...'. In the 'Encoding:' combo box you will see the current file format.
