tooironic Posted February 16, 2010 at 12:38 AM Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 at 12:38 AM This is to all the webmasters out there - what HTML editor do you use? I've always used Notepad++ for editing English websites, but recently discovered it doesn't seem to have Unicode support (whenever I type in Chinese characters they come up as gibberish or question marks). Not sure of a way out of this. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikelove Posted February 16, 2010 at 01:07 AM Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 at 01:07 AM EmEditor - as an HTML editor it's merely very good, but it has fantastic Unicode support. (we also use it for most of our dictionary data file editing work) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renzhe Posted February 16, 2010 at 01:16 AM Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 at 01:16 AM Well, I use Vim for everything, but this is probably not what you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cababunga Posted February 16, 2010 at 01:44 AM Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 at 01:44 AM Are you sure it's the editor's fault? Did you make sure browser knows in what encoding your characters are stored in the file? Like this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renzhe Posted February 16, 2010 at 01:49 AM Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 at 01:49 AM I don't know if this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooironic Posted February 16, 2010 at 02:41 AM Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 at 02:41 AM Oh wait I just figured out how to use Unicode in Notepad++. Believe it or not I actually found the answer in the Help documentation (that must be a world first). There's a massive button at the top called Encoding which drops down and gives you the options of ANSI, UTF-8, etc. Hurruh! Thanks everyone.
