How to convert a textfile and really show german umlaute?
-
I have a textfile which contains mostly text. Among the characters are some german Umlaute (äöü).
When I inspect these umlaute characters in hexadecimal they are represented for example by
xF6 = “ö”
or
xFC = “ü”
When I load now this file into NP++ these umlaute chars are NOT shown correctly. Instead some exotic chars are shown.
NP++ seems to interpret the content (as shown in the lower right corner of the status bar) as encoded “Windows (CR LF) ISO8859-5”
I tried a lot of NP++ converts from “Encoding” menu to let NP++ show the correct umlaute but without success.
How can I tell NP++ to convert/show umlaute correctly?
As an additional hint: The file contains some two-byte control chars xDE xE1
Maybe this has a negative impact on the correct identification.

What if you select Encoding->Character Set->Western European->Windows-1252?

Maybe this has a negative impact on the correct identification.Could be, hard to tell without having the file. Can you make a copy of that file and delete these
control chars, save it and reopen it? Does this solve the issue?Cheers
