We already have: open file for “utf-8” text There was some discussion of implementing “file+<encoding>:/path/to/file” style urls to avoid having to use binfile and textDecode and manual line ending wrangling. Also if there is a BOM then the unicode encoding can and is worked for file: urls and open file for text. It’s when there’s no BOM and no explicit encoding specified that the engine defaults to legacy native encodings.
