Is there a way to force VS to use Unicode always, instead of weird ISO-something?

I’m working on a winapp csproject using Visual Studio 2008 on Vista (Polish locale). The problem appears when I build the project on Win Server 2003 (English locale) – then Polish diacritic is gone.

I investigated that the issue is caused by improper source file encoding. It looks that source files aren’t using UTF-8 encoding.

    Problem: Compiler launched from command line cannot process the source file because of international characters that I’ve just added.

    Solution: Save source file explicitly in UTF-8 encoding to preserve international characters.

    How To:

    • open the problematic file in Visual Studio.
    • on the File menu click “Advanced Save Options“
    • from “Encoding” combo select “Unicode (UTF-8 …“
    • click OK.

    You’re set. Commit to please the build server and rest of the team waiting for green.
