<title>Character encodings</title>
|
|
<p>A character encoding is a specific way of recording characters internally
|
|
in a computer. There are many character encodings.</p>
|
|
<p>By default, <app>gedit</app> uses UTF-8, a modern character encoding
|
|
that can handle text from most of the world's languages. Another common
|
|
encoding for English and some other Western languages is ISO-8859-1.</p>

|
<title>Problems</title>
|
|
<p>If you open a file in a different character encoding than the encoding
|
|
in which the file was written, then some or all characters might be displayed
|
|
incorrectly.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This can happen if the file was created on another operating system
|
|
or if the file uses a different script.</p>

<title>Solutions</title>
|
|
|
|
<p>If the content of a text file does not look as expected,
|
|
<link xref="gedit-open-files">open the file</link> again by choosing a different
|
|
<gui>Character Encoding</gui> at the bottom of the file chooser dialog.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you have an idea which language is used in the document or in the area
|
|
of the original author of the document:</p>
|
|
<steps>
|
|
<item>
|
|
<p>Select <gui style="menuitem">Add or remove…</gui> from the <gui>Character Encoding</gui> dropdown at the bottom of the file chooser dialog.</p>
|
|
</item>
|
|
<item>
|
|
<p>Select one or more languages and their encodings under <gui>Available Encodings</gui> on the left.</p>
|
|
</item>
|
|
<item>
|
|
<p>Press <gui style="button">+</gui> to add the selected encodings to the <gui>Character Encoding</gui> dropdown.</p>
|
|
</item>
|
|
<item>
|
|
<p>Close the dialog by pressing <gui style="button">Apply</gui>.</p>
|
|
</item>
|
|
</steps>
|
|
|
|
<note style="tip"><p>If none of these solutions solve the problem, then you
|
|
could try to edit the file anyway. It is recommended to first create a backup
|
|
copy of your file.</p></note>
