Reading at this artice https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/variables/character-variables/ it is suggested to make the skin encode as UTF-16 Little Endian. So i convert my skin using Notepad++ (Convert to UCS-2 LE BOM) but failed, then tried using Notepad (Encoding: Unicode) also failed. Rainmeter shows this dialog:
The skin xxx.ini does not contain any meters and will be deactivated.

The File may be damaged or it may not be a valid skin.
Of course i believe i missing something and will take a careful look later because now i have a working Rainmeter skin i've been dreamed of. (yes it is true, i sleep but my mind still relate to why the skin is not working, but i enjoy it to "punish" my lazy brain) :17drums

If you can .zip up your entire skin folder and attach it here or post a link to where we can download it, I can take a look.
