Which font are you using (in Tools->Options->Fonts and Colours)? I'm using Courier New.
Your font will need to include support for those characters.

However, as you can see, there are a lot of ? marks yet font is set to Courier New

as you can see here, the standard WINDOWS TEXT application posted the Не пали светла у сумрак so why can't Programmer's notepad ?

2 years ago On looking at the encoding options under file, ANSI UTF-8 UTF-16 Big Endian UTF-16 Little Endian UTF-No Mark
then, if you go along to Tools > Options> General and click on Default and down to Encoding ANSI UTF-8 UTF-8 No BOM UTF-16 Big Endian UTF-16 Little Endian
how come one has No Mark, but other has No BOM ?

2 years ago BOM means "byte order mark". It's intention's to signify the order in which to expect the bytes of each character. But it tends to cause more trouble than it's worth with UTF-8... So it's generally recommended to avoid it.

I'm glad your issue has been corrected!
when trying to make document regarding Eurovision, trying to do it in such a way that the information for each country or act is like a 5 or 6 line story. Main problem bing that programmer notepad seems unable to recognise language text such as that used in Yugoslavian, seemingly referred to as Serbo-Croatian (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serbo-Croatian)
