However, if (as is recommended) you set 'encoding' to "utf-8", you
have to use the proper Unicode codepoint. The florin symbol is not 192
decimal but 192 hex, and as you said, it is known by Unicode as
"U+0192 LATIN SMALL LETTER F WITH HOOK [...] = Florin currency symbol
(Netherlands) [...]"

So you could enter it as Ctrl-V followed by u0192. This works for all
Unicode codepoints in the BMP (basic multilingual pane), i.e. U+
to U+ (some of these, however, do not represent a character, and
for those which your keyboard knows about there is of course an easier
way). (Actually, in Vim, codepoint zero is represented internally as
0x10, the linefeed code; to enter an actual linefeed in a file you
have to break the line).

Best regards,
Tony.

Re: Windows nightly builds issues

[Ritmo2k]

Hi Ben,
It looks like the x64 build gets compiled with two gvimext libraries, one for 
each arch where the x64 version is appended with a 64 (gvimext64.dll). However 
the installer is unaware of this and creates the following example reg entry:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{51EEE242-AD87-11d3-9C1E-0090278BBD99}\InProcServer32]
@="C:\\Program Files\\vim\\vim80\\gvimext\\gvimext.dll"
"ThreadingModel"="Apartment"

That leaves the extension non functional.

Thanks,
jlc

Thanks.  That does look like the problem.  I have to get my IT guy to change 
the registry values.

Re: How gVIM can handle UTF like notepad

I guess, you're asking how to save the file with a BOM? For that, ":set bomb" 
before saving will do the trick.

To detect this automatically, be sure that you have "set encoding=utf-8", 
"setglobal bomb", and "set fileencodings=ucs-bomb,utf-8,latin1" or similar in 
your .vimrc.

Re: Windows nightly builds issues

[Ben Fritz]

If it's a real bug, and not a question/support request, then either the main 
Vim project repository (https://github.com/vim/vim/issues) or the vim_dev 
mailing list (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/vim_dev).

If it's a question or support request, or if you're not sure what you're seeing 
is a bug, then use the vim_use mailing list 
(https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/vim_use).

How gVIM can handle UTF like notepad

[Erhy]

Hello,
for administer Windows I would like to use gVIM.
But there are some UTF encoded files.
Opening such files gVim decoded them and save the without BOMB.
Are there setting to have the same behavior as Windows notepad?
Thank you for tips
Erhy

I had exactly the same problem. I followed the instructions in the first answer 
in this link to solve the issue. It works for me now.

http://superuser.com/questions/655600/i-cant-set-a-program-as-the-default-to-open-a-filetype-with-in-windows-7

Have to correct some registry key as it was still set with some vim74 path (not 
updated by new installer).

Hope that helps,
Jorge

After selecting the program as you said above, it should be shown in the "Open 
with" dialog but it is not.

Is this working for anyone?   

I had to re-install gvim7.4 and use that as the default program.

Indeed - 'backspace' it was.
I added an assignment to it in my vimrc file and all is well.
Many thanks to you (and Ben),
