UTF-8 without BOM displays incorrectly in vim(1)
Stop right now (you're oh so wrong)! :-)
Sorry. Please add "using the default settings of gvim on Windows". My context throughout was Windows not Unix. Sorry I didn't make that clear.
(By the way: UTF-8 and BOM?
Windows uses it, I believe. My tests specifically used files with no BOM, just utf8-encoded text. I made this statement to head off people assuming that UTF8 can be detected in Windows by looking at the first few bytes.
Interesting things i learn on this list.
:-)
And i hope in ten years we can laugh about this -> UTF-8 transition all over the place, 'cause it's simply working.)
That would be good... Paul.
