Good afternoon! My Russian-language characters in the skin are not displayed correctly. I tried to install different skins on the "notepad", from different developers, but everyone has the same problem. What to do?
The file is saved in UTF-8 (says right in the corner) which can't display crylic, In Notepoad, click File and then just choose to Save as and choose the encoding to be Unicode and delete the old UTF-8 file adter

The issue might be caused by the encoding of the files. Their encoding is set to UTF-8, which is not the best choice. Try encoding them in UTF-16 Little Endian Unicode. Details: https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?p=166711#p166711
Like all Windows applications (since Windows 98), Rainmeter manages and displays all text using the UTF-16 LE Unicode standard. If you wish to embed Unicode characters in Rainmeter .ini (skin) .inc (include) or text files read by the Quote plugin, simply encode the file as:
UTF-16 LE (Windows Notepad.exe)
UCS-2 LE BOM (Notepad++)
UTF-16 LE (Sublime Text)
It's that simple. Now you can embed strings like Самое прекрасное в стандартах то, что есть так много, чтобы выбрать из. in your file(s) and Rainmeter will handle them properly on any user's system.
We will refer to this as UTF-16 from here out. While the naming convention varies from editor to editor, it is basically the same standard in each.
NEVER encode any of these files in UTF-8. Rainmeter and the Quote plugin will not be able to properly read them.

In the post above it says UTF 16 is same as UCS-2 LE BOM which is there in Notepad++ on your screen.
Right:

I strongly recommend that all .ini and .inc files just always be encoded as UTF-16 LE / UCS-2 LE BOM. (These are essentially the same thing)
