Wow, I don't know what text editors you use, but any text editor worth using should at least support Unicode. If not, that text editor has seen updates for 10-15+ years. On a side note: Just over a year ago I reviewed tons of text editors. I needed something that could preview other encodings (in case auto-detect didn't work 100%) so I could decide what should be used, warn me about inconsistent encodings or possible loss of data, then do actual conversions, have great regex support and have many other great features. My conclusion was that EditPad Pro [http://www.editpadpro.com/] was miles ahead of the competition. Yes it isn't free, but the price is dirt cheap for what you get, including monthly updates and great support. Even though it is a Windows application, it runs perfectly under FreeBSD and Linux using WINE.
