at top of TextPad window, in toolbar: Configure / Preferences / Document Classes / Default do you have both "Write Unicode and UTF-8 BOM" and also "Default Encoding UTF-8" both check boxes with check-marks ?

I know this is a very old post, but I thought this might help someone else. I had the same issue (except with Danish characters), and my work-around for files that only contain one or two Danish characters, is to place the following comment in the HTML:

Code: Select all

<!-- Force UTF-8 encoding by TextPad: æ Æ ø Ø å Å é -->

Now those files stay saved as UTF-8, but it's a real pain that I have to resort to these measures.
