The type of coding can be set by using the drop-down menu (arrow) next to the box below that for the GEDCOM type setting. But I use utf8 as it is this setting which I find best for all non alphanumeric characters, and it is the one commonly used by the sites to which I send the GEDCOM.
The only time when I use ANSI is Legacy to Legacy transfers, using the Legacy GEDCOM format.
