I want to use the character encoding UTF-8 (without BOM) on my files. I can change the encoding from the "Format" menu, but it is reset every time I create a new file or open a file.
How can I do so Notepad++ uses UTF-8 (without BOM) as default encoding?
Go to
Settings -> Preferences -> New Document/ Open Save Directory
and then in
New Document -> Encoding check UTF8 without BOM
You might also want to tick "Apply to opened ANSI files":
Just bumping once again here at superuser
Step 1: Settings -> Preferences -> New Document ->[Encodng] UTF-8 without BOM (check Apply to opened ANSI files)
but any how it hadn't solved mine , i searched out and found that its a bug!
