      Hi all,

      I’ve created a UTF-8 file with a € sign and a phone symbol in in (📞/ U+1F4DE ). Without the phone symbol the document is recognized as UTF-8 after opening. However if I open the file with the phone Emoji symbol in it, Notepad++ will act if it’s an ANSI file (while it was saved as UTF-8). If I change the encoding manually to UTF-8 the file is displayed correctly.

      Tested with Windows 10 and Windows 7 (in win 7 is the phone symbol not visible, because it doesn’t support Emoji).

      Can this be fixed in a future release?

      Best regards,
      Shirley de Jong
