Description

Multiple times now I've opened up files saved with this editor as UTF-8 only to have them garbled on reading.
The encoding detection library is reporting them as IBM852.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Save file with a word like Zürich
2. Close editor
3. Open file again

Debug Information

No response

Additional Details

Solution: Do not attempt to read different encodings until feature for changing encodings is implemented. Default to UTF-8.

Additional suggestion: When implementing encoding conversion, upon change, prompt user whether to reinterpret file as the new encoding or convert to it. This is something Notepad++ currently does wrong. It is a mistake to avoid.

I may get involved in this, but do not expect to have time this month.
