UltraEdit not saving/display ő (o with 2 dashes) character

Postby jtaylor » Tue Jan 25, 2005 7:00 am

Hi,

I am trying to convert some text to Hungarian. I cut and paste the Hungarian character ő (o with two dashes on top) into an UltraEdit document. It converts it to an o.

I have the English version. How do I fix this?

thanks

Same happens with Notepad. The ő is a character which has a hex code greater than 255. So you can't paste it in ASCII files.

Convert your file with File - Conversions - ASCII to UTF-8 (Unicode Editing) to UTF-8 format, than you can paste this character.

About UTF-8 editing see help of UE and see also (searched forum for UTF or BOM) Saving files in UTF-8 format and Byte Order Marker (BOM) query?.
