note moritz <p>Unicode is not a file format.</p> <p>Unicode is
rather abstract concept: a collection of characters, and a
mapping from the characters to numbers.</p> <p>But to write a
file, there is one step missing: a character encoding, that
transforms those numbers into bytes. Popular ones are UTF-8, and
UTF-16LE, UTF-16BE and UTF-32.</p> <p>Some programs on windows
write "Unicode" when they mean one of the UTF-16 encodings, but
it's still wrong.</p> <p>So, what encoding do you want?</p>
<p>Also please read [|Encodings and Unicode].</p> <!-- Node text
