Does a file on windows have an encoding attribute? -
i have been reading issue trying figure out actual encoding of file , complications. need know encoding of file set when saved. windows store information somewhere similar file type , date modified etc., ?
that's not available. windows file system (ntfs) doesn't store metadata file beyond trivial stuff name, extension, last written date, etcetera. nothing that's specific file type.
all have available bom, bytes @ beginning of file indicate utf encoding , byte order. exists files encoded in utf and, unfortunately, optional. real troublemakers text files encoded particular 8-bit non-unicode code page. created legacy application. nothing can hope file wasn't created far away machine default system code page match.
