The Target
File Encoding dialog
box is used to set the character encoding of a target file. The
file type of the source file determines which character encodings
are supported.
For text files, the following character
encodings are typically supported:
· |
ANSI
(MBCS) |
· |
UTF-8
(Unicode) |
· |
UTF-16
(Unicode) |
The encoding cannot
be selected for binary files (e.g., EXE, DLL) and XML files.
BOM: In
addition to the encoding it is also possible to specify whether
the target file will include a
at the beginning of the file. The default setting is to
include a BOM.
