Hi Rebecca, I do not use VS, but the encoding is separate, independet from the editor. If you want to create european/english pages with some Unicode- symbols, UTF-8 is normally the best. You can also create your CSS as UTF-8. A pure english-written file is only a little big bigger as the Ascii-Version (3 Bytes, the BOM). Asiatic languages may use GB2312 (Non-Unicode) or UTF-16, which is smaller than UTF-8 for these languages. There UTF-8 would need 3 bytes per character, UTF-16 needs only two bytes.
