Encoding

Different types of files use different ways to define encoding. AppCode recognizes encoding of files based on their contents.

Encoding has influence on the way AppCode reads or writes files. If a file has been modified but not yet saved, any changes in encoding affect file writing; if a file has not been modified, then reading is affected. AppCode suggests specific ways to change encoding of a file according to its type, using File Encodings Preferences page, the Status bar, or the editor.

EncodingCan be changed in
File encoding is specified within the file, for example, in XML. If a file contains explicit encoding declaration, you can change it in the Editor. In this case AppCode provides code completion.
File encoding is defined by BOM. In this case, you can't change encoding with which AppCode reads the file, but it is still possible to change encoding for writing such file.
UTF characters are detected in the file contents.AppCode provides an option that automatically changes file encoding to UTF, if the file contents can be reasonably interpreted as UTF.
This option only works for reading; a file can be saved with any encoding.
Encoding cannot be found out from the file content.In this case, the default encoding is the one defined by the IDE encoding in the File Encodings page of the Preferences dialog. You can change it for multiple files and directories, or for a single file.
