I have a file which if read with the Windows-1252 encoding (cp1252 in Vim) has an en dash character (encoded as byte 150). When I load this file in a Vim with enc=latin1, and leave fenc blank, I would expect to see a "no character" block in place of the en dash. However, I see the en dash as if I loaded with enc/fenc set to cp1252.
If I set encoding to utf-8, and load the same file with default fileencodings, it detects as latin1 and I see the "no character" glyph as expected. If I do :e ++enc=cp1252, or if I modify my fileencodings option to include cp1252 instead of latin1, I see the en dash, again as expected. Is this behavior intentional? It certainly could be considered helpful, but it was very unexpected. -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
