ow btw your FileView plugin is doing it oke.jsmorley wrote: ↑November 18th, 2021, 1:29 pm The .lua file itself is read by Rainmeter, not Lua, and will be just fine with Unicode characters in the script. What Lua can't do is deal with multi-byte characters or the UTF-16 LE BOM characters in external files you try to read or write with Lua.

.ini, .inc and .lua files should all always be encoded as UTF-16 LE.
btw when i create a new file on my system. and that is dutch. the the default is UTF-8.
