turkish characters problem

[Ogün Kovan]

i can only see turkish characters with encoding>character set>turkish>iso 8859-9 or windows-1254. but notepad doesnt save my decision and it gets reset every time i close it. i want one of those default not utf-8.

i have never had this before. what is the problem?

@ogün-kovan ,

In Settings > Preferences > New Document, you might try picking the pulldown with ISO 8859-9 selected:

But that’s technically for new files; I don’t know if Notepad++ will also use that for ANSI files.

You might also try toggling Settings > Preferences > MISC > Autodetect character encoding.

@peterjones yeah it is for new document not existing ones. i tried to disable and enable that option (autodetect character encoding) but didnt change anything. i dont get it :S

maybe it has smth to do with windows LTSC 2021?

There’s a good chance of that.

If you look at the ? menu, Debug Info, what does it say for your Current ANSI codepage: xxxx ?

(There were some recent discussions that you can search for in the forum which show where in windows to change the default codepage)

Those links are focused on changing the codepage to UTF8 (65001)… but should be able to work for changing to 1254 as well.
