Setting the priority of encoding auto-detection
To set the priority of encoding auto-detection:
- Choose CotEditor > Preferences.
- Click Format.
- In the File Encoding section, click Edit Encoding List.
- Move up the encodings you use frequently, and place UTF-16 right under them.
(As UTF-16 is able to encode most characters, you need to put it at the bottom of often-used encodings.)
Though you can change the order of encodings, you cannot delete them. Just move down the encodings you don't use.
