I save a file using File->Save as or File->Save a copy, set the File type to
"Text - choose a coding", in the filter selection dialog, I choose encoding
"Unicode (UTF-8)" and line ending "LF".
Then I inspect the resulting file using od (octal dump) with options to show
byte values as ascii and hex code, (od -c -t x1).
The file begins with these two lines:
Ferden til boplassen
Endelig stod jeg der. Langs den lille kanalen foran meg lå tre små sjøfly.
Notice the three non-ascii characters in the last four words.
Inspecting the outcome, I find as follows:
$ od -c -t x1 Ren-tekst-versjon.txt | head -30
0000000 1 . F e r d e n
20 20 20 20 20 20 20 31 2e 46 65 72 64 65 6e 20

3f 20 73 6a 3f 66 6c 79 2e 20 54 65 72 6d 69 6e
(The first line is a heading, here indented by seven spaces, which I did not
expect. In the original, it is not indented. The second line is part of a
longer paragraph and is saved as a single long line - this is expected and OK.)
The issue in this report is that the characters å and ø are replaced with
question marks. It seems like the file has not been converted to utf-8, but
rather to ascii.
