Many GBK texts recognized as Unicode no BOM, Unicode no BOM is not usual. I think just need support UTF8 no BOM. Others just need to be treated as system locale.

You should take this upstream.

Which one?

What do you mean "which one"? This is an upstream issue, not an issue with this fork.

@XhmikosR I think he wants to know whether you mean scintilla or notepad2 when you say "upstream."

@pffang This would be a Notepad2 issue, sorta. Notepad and Notepad2 both use the Unicode detection heuristics that are built into Windows.

There are a few other things worth noting about Notepad2's Unicode detection, but they're not entirely relevant to this discussion.

@XhmikosR Sorry for the incomplete description. @QWp6t Thanks.

Let us know if you hear from Floarian.

Thanks @QWp6t for the help!

Thanks for your feedback.

Unicode detection is always just a best guess, and personal preferences are subjective. Here in Eruope, I have much more UTF-16 without BOM files, than GBK files, so I'd say GBK is unusual.

You can turn off UTF-16 detection, and just rely on BOMs to identify UTF-16 files: http://www.flos-freeware.ch/development-releases/notepad2-FAQs.html#unicode-detection

Why no BOM UTF16 text exist in the world？:anguished:

For those who do not want to deal with this, you can just turn it off:

SkipUnicodeDetection = 1
