How to force N++ to open files only in UTF-8?

- I have a file with the following code:
print "Hello World". - In
Encodingsection,Encode in UTF-8is chosen. - I close the file, and open it again: nothing has been changed. Perfect.

print "Hello World 😀". - I close the file, and open it again; I see:
print "Hello World рџЂ". - In
