You'll need to be more specific about what you're trying to do. Are you talking
about from D or about running commands in the shell? And if you're talking
about the shell, the answer could depend on the type of shell.
I was talking bout running opening an editor like nano and creating a
text file that is UTF-8 encoded. I usually look up answers to my
questions before posting but not this time. Shortly afterward I did a
search on found the nano user manual which detailed the steps necessary
to rebuild form source with UTF-8 enabled.
In general, Phobos assumes that you're operating on UTF-8 files (or at least
UTF-8 compatible files). All of the file operations using string do UTF-8. You
have to use ubyte[] to be able to use other encodings. And we don't properly
deal with BOM stuff right now, which we need to fix at some point.
