    If the txt file with the japanese (or other korean、chinese etc.),Notepad++ can not read it well.

      I am encountering the same problem using Notepad++ on WinXP (EN) with unicode path names which has Japanese / Chinese (Simplified / Traditional) characters in them.

      Is there any plan for fixing this minor issue?

      Other then that, Notepad++ IS the only text editor out there I use and will recommend to friends!

      Thanks for the hard work!

      Yes, this sucks.

      But, if you have a unicode directory name, you can do dir /X in cmd.exe in the parent directory. This will show a short version of the directory name.

      If you then pass notepad++ a path that uses the short versions of the directory names etc., notepad++ will load it fine.

      Perhaps, there's a registry key you could add that puts a "Edit file in unicode path with notepad++" that does this automatically.

      Or, notepad++ should just support unicode command line arguments like regular notepad does. Then, this wouldn't be a problem.
