Encode in UTF-8

Option “Encode in UTF-8” is not working as expected, its not removing BOM

I’m using npp 6.8.8. and it is working.

Do you have some additional infos?

Cheers

Maybe this “problem” has to do with the recent renaming of the encoding options for UTF-8 with and without BOM? Maybe the OP is just used to the old naming scheme and is now confronted with the new names? There was a post recently about this renaming…

This may be specifically happening xml data-file,

The file having junk/BOM characters before first xml tag of each line,

I saved with UTF-8 and transferred to Linux box, still can see junk/BOM characters

thanks

hmm, I might be wrong but I thought BOM is a file marker which appears on the beginning of a file
not in the middle but what I can think of is that windows uses \r\n and linux \n. Maybe you see the
\r instead?
