      I have an XML file with a declared encoding of UTF-16. The encoding shown by NPP is UCS-2 LE BOM. If I look at the file with a Hex Editor it’s just that: Unicode with BOM at the beginning.

      However, XMLTools’ validation fails with “Document labelled UTF-16 but has UTF-8 content”

      Can anyone explain why a seemingly correct document can’t be validated?

        It’s called a bug

        https://sourceforge.net/p/npp-plugins/bugs/166/

        No idea if it has ever been fixed.

          Ok, I see. Since it is hanging around for three years now, I doubt it ever will be…
