>>I'm trying to save a text file that has foreign characters. You simply cannot specify a charset in a plain .txt file. A text file is simply a string of characters in ASCII. Unlike an HTML page, it does not contain any header to specify a character set. If it contains special characters above 127, they will be interpreted in the default character set of the operating system. For instance under Windows, il will probably be Window 1252 equivalent to ISO 8859-1, ie. République. If the OS does not consider characters above 127, it will show an ? for every character above 127, ie. R?publique On an Apple computer, it will be different. If it is actually encoded in UTF-8, it will still be read as plain ASCII characters, thus things like République.
