this will probably break utf-8 files without BOM. With BOM they would be correctly detected by ucs-bom. Without a BOM all or almost all utf-8 files can be interpreted as utf-16 -- even those with an odd number of bytes; in this case Vim puts out a conversion error, but loads the file anyway. Even incomplete surrogate pairs don't seem to prevent Vim from loading the file as utf-16. Better put utf16le after utf-8, because a misinterpretation of utf16 (both little endian and big endian) can be detected by Vim. But then you will probably run into the same dilemma with utf-16 and latin9 ... :-( Regards, Jürgen -- ~ ~ ~ :wq -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
