invizible characters #14739

Open nagualul opened 6 months ago

nagualul commented 6 months ago

Hello. I have a file in which the first 3 characters are invisible when I open it with notepad++ even though I have checked to display all existing characters. I don't know if it's a bug. Maybe you will look at the file... test.csv test

It's called a byte order mark:

> python -c "print(''.join([chr(b) for b in [0xEF, 0xBB, 0xBF]]))"


Does the status bar look something like this?

utf-8-bom

If the file was generated by software, it's best to just leave the encoding alone; you may end up invalidating the data.

True. Many tks.

But, maybe it would be good to be able to see the presence of those characters somehow... Somewhere in the "ShowSymbol" menu to add a tick for this type of characters.

能夠以某種方式看到這些字元的存在會很好

agree ...

It would be better to be able to see the existence of these ...
