Non-ANSI characters warning

Hello,
Every time I open a UTF-8 document with non-ANSI characters I get this warning:
WARNING: "file.txt" contains characters that do not exist in code page 1252 (ANSI - Latin I). They will be converted to the system default character, if you click OK
This makes reading and editing the file impossible. Can this be resolved?
Thanks!
PS: My version is 4.3.1

That's not possible, because TP does not support unicode.

On windows XP this problem not appears, TP open all files, but on Vista TP show me the same warning:"WARNING: "file.txt" contains characters that do not exist in code page 1252 (ANSI - Latin I). They will be converted to the system default character, if you click OK"
My UTF file contains only english and curillic (windows-1251) characters.
(sorry for my english
)

As Berend says, TextPad does not properly support Unicode: it displays each document using only one (8-bit) code page at a time. Your document contains characters that exist in Windows CP1252, and TextPad is trying to display it using Windows CP1251.
Select
Configure | Preferences | Document Classes | <Class> | Font | Script: Cyrillic
or
View | Document Properties | Font | Script: Cyrillic.
Here is the correspondence between scripts and code pages:
Code: Select all
Western 1252
Greek 1253
Turkish 1254
Central European 1250
Cyrillic 1251

I open file from File -> Open, it opens normally.
But from shell (Open with -> TextPad) - warning appears.
TextPad (5.2)
