<span class="application">Geany</span> provides support for detecting and converting
|
||
character sets. So you can open and save files in different character sets and
|
||
even can convert a file from a character set to another one.
|
||
To do this, <span class="application">Geany</span> uses the character conversion
|
||
capabilities of the GLib.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
Furthermore, Geany detects an Unicode Byte Order Mark
|
||
(see <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_Order_Mark" target="_top">
|
||
<em class="citetitle">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_Order_Mark</em>
|
||
</a> for details). Of course, this feature is only available if the opened file
|
||
is in an unicode encoding. The Byte Order Mark helps to detect the encoding of a
|
||
file, e.g. whether it is UTF-16LE or UTF-16BE and so on. On Unix-like systems using
|
||
a Byte Order Mark could cause some problems, e.g. the gcc stops with stray errors,
|
||
PHP does not parse a script containing a BOM and script files starting with a
|
||
she-bang maybe cannot be started.
|
||
In the status bar you can easily see whether the file starts with a BOM or not.
|
||
If you want to set a BOM for a file or if you want to remove it from a file, just
|
||
use the document menu and toggle the checkbox.
|
||
</p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
|
||
If you are unsure what a BOM is or if you do not understand where to use it,
|
||
then it is not important for you and you can safely ignore it.
