i have a file contaning two chinese charater

i saved this file in utf-8 format , but each time i open the file , i found that the chinese character changes to monster and the file is in ANSI rather than UTF-8

I tried again and save file in UTF-8 , but it happened again.

the file with hundreds of chinese charater doesn't not have similar problem , pls help , thanks

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