Hi, Everything we write is in UTF-8, but we have to import data files which we do not know the encoding for. It looks like lots of software write in the default system encoding, which makes it tricky to import them into another system.
Using the Universal checker is looking less likely as it keeps guessing Chinese as Russian…. Actually, is there an easy way of turning the result into a realbasic encoding that's cross platform?
