#2 Unicode text display

[Christian d'Heureuse]

It's very useful that the find function also finds Unicode text.

It would be nice if one could switch the text display frame from ASCII to Unicode and to directly edit Unicode text.
Or instead of switching the text display between ASCII and Unicode, there could be an option to display a Unicode text frame together with the ASCII text frame.

The problem with Unicode is how to syncronise with the start of a character, something like the Unicode test file (TestsUnicode.hex). While the finder can try all options(odd, even byte char start, and plain ascii), displaying all of them at the same time is not possible.

One possible solution would be to provide a menu item to select the text display mode.
e.g.:

ASCII
ISO-8859-1
UTF-8
Unicode 16 Bit (UCS-2), byte order: big endian, start: even
Unicode 16 Bit (UCS-2), byte order: little endian, start: even
Unicode 16 Bit (UCS-2), byte order: big endian, start: odd
Unicode 16 Bit (UCS-2), byte order: little endian, start: odd
