In the browser, the Unicode representation will be used for your projects. Therefore, your files must be in UTF-8 format.

You can use the Unicode Transfer tool to display a list of all text files of a given project which contain ASCII characters with a code higher than 127.

Warning: This tool is only intended for converting non-UTF-8 files to UTF-8. If you use it with files which are already in UTF-8, these files will be destroyed.

To check the text files

1. In the Special Tools node of the navigation frame (which is visible when the Tools & Documentation button has previously been chosen), choose Unicode Transfer.

2. From the Project drop-down list box, select the required project.

3. Choose the UTF-8 Check button.

   When a file is found in the specified project which contains ASCII characters with a code higher than 127, the result is displayed as shown in the following example:

   

   The following information is provided in the Difference column:

   Left Side	Right Side
   Non-Unicode representation.	Unicode representation.

4. Examine the result list thoroughly. This list does not tell you whether a file is already in UTF-8. It is important that you know the encoding of your files. If a listed file is already in UTF-8, do not try to change its encoding using the Convert Selected button, no matter what is shown in the Difference column.

5. To convert a non-UTF-8 file to UTF-8, select the corresponding row and choose the Convert Selected button. This converts the entire file (not only the character that is shown in the Difference column).

   Warning: Choose the Convert Selected button only once per non-UTF-8 file. Otherwise, you will destroy the file.
