Re: [ jEdit-users ] default encoding for Windows?

[Eric C. <eri...@gm...>]

Windows default encoding is codepage 1252 (cp1252) which is the same as
windows-1252. That's the system default encoding. (might be different for
russia and non-european countries)

jEdit use by default the system encoding but you can easily configure it in
the global configuration or if you run it from command line by adding
-Dfile.encoding=utf-8.

This would make the JVM answer utf-8 when jedit ask what is the system
encoding.
