As discussed in this thread http://forum.pspad.com/read.php?2,62111 (JSON pretty printer stripping unicode), any script seems to be stripping Unicode characters. I've noticed this in UTF-8 files, but haven't tested other Unicode encodings.
For example, ÄŤ (u012b) it comes out a regular i (u0069). The script is reading the character correctly, but not writing it correctly. Cary -- <http://forum.pspad.com/read.php?4,62132,62132> PSPad freeware editor http://www.pspad.com
