I find I've had to fuss a bit with Project Builder's editor. Most of the
docs, source, etc., I see are encoded in shift-JIS, but I haven't yet
found a way to tell the PB editor what encoding to assume when opening a
file. I have been able to figure out that it seems to pick up the byte
order mark or something for UTF-16 (which surprised me). And it seems to
require UTF-8 for compiling in C. 

(Maybe I should download the new version of the dev tools. I don't have
the room on my vintage iBook's 5.6G drive, but I think Apple said the
bulk of the documentation didn't have to be on the boot volume.)

But I can tell Text Edit what encoding to assume and then save as UTF-8
or UTF-16, so there's a work-around.

Unfortunately, that's not going to help the OP, near as I can tell. Do
you recognize his "deg.TMGDBdeg.$D9$BBdeg.$D9deg.$E9deg.$D9-$DA$F5"?

I like to have several users, each with different language and script
settings. (Family account set to Japanese, of course.) I also find it
convenient to have multiple scripts selectable, and the precedence
defaults are pretty handy, as well.
