I am using Komodo Edit. I have to encode some files as UTF-8 without BOM in Komodo. In my localhost and site there is no problem but on some sites i am seeing BOM sign and this is a terrible problem for AJAX-JSON response.
Any advices?
Thanks.
The option can be found in the Properties section of the File Properties and Settings dialog box.

I have a problem with the charset of my files.
I create the documents in localhost by setting the charset to UFT8 (wb), but when uploading to the online server the charset is changed to ANSI.
I use Filezilla and the provider is Kinghost.
Update: I switched to binary transfer. Apparently it did not work. See the configuration in the image below. In the second image, the encoding in notepad.
Filezilla's transfer mode must be binary so that the file does not have its edited charset.
But my problem was having created the files in ANSI. When creating the files we must choose UTF-8 without BOM.
When I tried to validate a recent project, I got multiple errors which say "Malformed byte sequence: 92." What does this mean? It's got something to do with the charset UTF-8, but I can't find ANY information online about what this problem is or how to fix it. If anyone out there could give me a hand, that would be great!!! I only know HTML, CSS and a little JavaScript.
Okay, I figured it out. I was saving my projects as ANSI. There was a setting under the "File" tab in my code editor (Programmer's Notepad) entitled "Encoding". I changed that to UTF-8 and it cleared up the validation problems.
I'm building a web page that uses Google WebFonts (open sans) on a PC and it works perfectly, but when I try it on a mac computer it shows a question mark within the text. Why is this?
The character you are seeing is the replacement character, which is used when a font does not contain a particular Unicode character, in this case, "ñ" AKA U+00F1 AKA "Latin small letter n with tilde".
Google Open Sans does contain this character, so it seems that Safari is not correctly getting the font from the web. The rendering engine is then reverting to another font, and that one is missing the offending character. You will be able to check in dev tools on your mac which font is being grabbed by your script.
I checked the script annotation you posted in the comment to your question. You are returning the fonts in the woff2 format. It turns out that woff2 is not supported in Safari as of version 9, but woff is. I therefore recommend changing the format to woff and serving it to your page locally:
Download the script you posted (http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:300,400,500,700)
Save it as a css file (e.g. fonts.css)
Find-and-replace woff2 to woff
Save the file
Add it to your web project (however you add your other files)
Replace #StyleSheet({"fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:300,400,500,700";}) with a reference to this newly uploaded file.
Solved! One of the developers had its Eclipse not set to UTF-8 so the file transfer using Git wasn't working properly...to check, go to Preferences>General>Workspace>Text file encoding and set to UTF-8
I hope someone can help me with this issue.
For a few months (since last August) there has been an ongoing issue on my site with strange characters appearing all over the place - especially in user generated content.
I have searched and searched for answers but nothing ever seems to work, although the most pressing (in the blog component) has been resolved by setting JCE to validate HTML - which is does fine in the Blogging component (EasyBlog) but doesn't anywhere else (where it is less critical but still an issue).
Here is what I have done so far:
Checked the site from multiple machines, multiple browsers - no difference.
Checked the MySQL database and table collation - which are utf8_general_ci
Added AddDefaultCharset UTF-8 and AddCharset UTF-8 .php to the .htaccess files. I played about with these for ages and these two seemed to be the only combination which didn't crash the site.
Have checked the HTML headers and they definitely have the correct content encoding types (set to UTF-8)
I have tried different WSIWIG editors to no avail. Besides it is often in the code output where the characters appear - typically a A next to a »
I have tried a hack to force the connection script to UTF-8 but this causes the site to crash.
If anyone has any ideas at all as to what I can do still ... I'm all ears (please)
Many thanks in advance
If your server is running PHP 5.4+ I would suggest that you try the following solution described in the JCE forums:
In the Editor Global Configuration, set "Entity Encoding" to "UTF-8"
In the "Custom Configuration Variables" field, add:
keep_nbsp:0
The keep an eye out for the JCE 2.3.2 release which will address this issue.
Things to note:
anywhere the spurious â or  is occurring will have to be edited to remove the characters (once the changes above have been applied to JCE).
the problem is Joomla! 2.5.x's use of get_html_translation_table() which relies on default values and PHP 5.4 changed the default encoding parameter to UTF-8. Previously it defaulted to ISO-8859-1
For the core you could try and modify _decode() in /libraries/joomla/filter/input.php, look for the line (around 644):
$trans_tbl = get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES);
and change it to:
$trans_tbl = get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES, ENT_COMPAT, 'ISO-8859-1');
I have a simple vb6 editor type application which has a richtextbox as the editor page. It allows users to key in stuff and the store it into a file which will keep all the text in RTF stored as CDATA in xml.
When you load back the file, it will read it off the xml and load back the rtf. We allow for unicode editing, but my problem is I have a user which is using Windows XP, and they have some problems reading the chinese characters. They show up as gibberish in their pc.
It displays fine in both mine and a coworker's. I've already checked that they have the proper regional language and settings in their system. The install files for east asian language is already checked. And they can see chinese words on websites and even type them out.
I feel like I'm missing something here but I'm at a lost on what to check next? Any ideas on what I could test or check next?
my bad for the poor description skills, if anything is not clear just ask me.
thanks.

That is weird. Try confirming that your user have the same version of RICHTXT32.OCX ?
Could be a problem with font?
Try using font that supports unicode characters (Arial Unicode).
Or try going to a website with chinese characters and paste it into richtextbox, save it to a file and try loading it from the file.
Does that work?
well they should because i packed the app in vs installer setup package.
and for fonts, it's sim sun, and i've already checked with the users that they do have the sim sun fonts under window/fonts.
Btw i've already updated that the data is actually stored in xml under CDATA, although the rtf chunk is kept as it is.
okie, this seems to be the solution although i don't know why. in my msi setup file i've included the riched.dll so when i installed it in, the dll acts up and screw up my chinese character in the richtext control.
but when i repack to exclude that dll file and reinstall using that setup, it seems to work now...
