Vim (which is what
viresolves to on most systems) readily supports extended character sets. You might need to tell Vim which encoding to use, though.This is controlled by two options:
If you have loaded a file that displays incorrectly, you may use
:set encoding=<new encoding>to force the appropriate encoding. This changes the interpretation of the characters on the fly. If you want to save the file in another encoding preserving the current interpretation of characters, useset fileencoding=<new encoding>to let Vim save the file in that encoding.I recommend that you set
utf-8as the default encoding in your.vimrc.
