Hi, I'm not sure, whether the following is relevant, as I don't really use this feature much, but there are two modes of hexadecimal view in PSPad: via File: Open in Hex editor (Ctrl+Shift+O) you can access directly the file as stored on disc.
On the other hand, if you switch a current text content to HEX via View: HEX edit mode you see the internaly recoded representation of the file content ( I believe, it is utf-16), hence the utf-8 byte sequences wouldn't be found here. Does the reported behaviour appear in both of these modes? regards, vbr -- <http://forum.pspad.com/read.php?4,67256,67271> PSPad freeware editor http://www.pspad.com
