Hi

What's the CharacterEncoding option for Windows?

Example only lists 'US-ASCII', 'UTF-8', 'latin1', 'Shift_JIS', and'ISO-8859-1'.

Hi Pete,

When dealing with text encoding in Windows, you have several options. Let’s explore them:

ANSI (Windows-1252): This was the original Windows character set. It’s identical to ASCII for the first 127 characters, includes special characters from 128 to 159, and maps to UTF-8 from 160 to 255. You can specify it using <meta charset="Windows-1252"> in HTML.
UTF-8: Widely used and recommended, UTF-8 accommodates most character sets across all languages. To set the source and execution character sets to UTF-8 in Visual Studio, use the /utf-8 compiler option.
Unicode: Word automatically saves files encoded as Unicode (UTF-16), allowing cross-language compatibility. It’s a safe choice for sharing files across systems with different language settings.

Hope this helps!
