      Encountered issue after upgrading to version 8.1.4 (64 bit).
      Files with utf-8 (Chinese characters) now displaying ??.
      Input Chinese character from keyboard also displaying ??.
      When I check the [Beta: Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language support] option in Region Settings Change system locale…, notepad++ works again but Windows notepad and Office vba editors failed to display the character.
      Is there any setting in notepad++ can change this behavior?

        @oberon168 ,

        Make sure the default font in Notepad++ (Settings > Style Configurator > Global Styles > Default Style) supports those characters.

        Also, Settings > Preferences > Misc > Use Direct Write will often help give better Unicode handling
