Hi George, * the user can set, Options->Preferences -- Encoding -- "Fallback character encoding" I checked and it is set to Unicode: [cid:image001.png@01D756C4.D2076E00] * the corresponding user guide topic: * https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/23.1/ug-editor/topic/preferences-enco... That link is no longer valid: [cid:image002.png@01D756C5.2D96E9D0] * You may also attach that sample file to a reply Thank you George – see attached. /Roger -----Original Message----- From: oXygen-user <oxygen-user-bounces@oxygenxml.com> On Behalf Of George Bina Sent: Tuesday, June 1, 2021 8:53 AM To: oxygen-user@oxygenxml.com Subject: [EXT] Re: [oXygen-user] Why is Oxygen showing my files in Chinese? Dear Roger, When you open a file in Oxygen the bytes representing that file content will be translated to characters using a character encoding. For XML files there is a detection process described by the XML spec. For other type of files the rule is to always use UTF-8. For generic text files there is no encoding information available, so Oxygen provides a default (UTF-8) and exposes that as an option that the user can set, see Options->Preferences -- Encoding -- "Fallback character encoding" and also the corresponding user guide topic: https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/23.1/ug-editor/topic/preferences-enco... The first thing to do is to check what value you have for this option in your Oxygen installation, to understand what encoding is used to read the content of that text file. That should ideally match the encoding you used to create the file. You may also attach that sample file to a reply, to allow us to better understand what content has the file what you want to open.

Hi Folks,
I created a Hello, world text file using Notepad.
Then I dragged and dropped the file into Oxygen.
Oxygen displays the text in Chinese (I think). See screenshot below.
How do I fix this? /Roger
