Show invalid characters

[Greystoke]

Hi,

When I open a file with beyond compare that has certain characters in it, they show different.

€ becomes €
ü becomes ü
ö becomes ö
ä becomes ä

How can I stop it converting them.

Hi Greystroke,

BC tries to auto detect the character encoding of files, but the auto detection might be failing. To work around this, manually specify the character encoding of your files. Select "Session > Session Settings". Go to the "Format" tab. Specify an "Encoding overrides" setting for your left and right files.

Thank you, that fixed it.
