Text editor for Mac with UTF-8 encoding option 1 points by anothermike 16y ago ↗ HN I'm looking for a simple text editor for the Mac that non-technical users can use to save text files in UTF-8 encoding. Anyone have any ideas?
[–] anothermike 16y ago ↗ Our non-technical tester said that the Mac doesn't have UTF-8. I'm not on the Mac but I guess I'll have to check it out myself. Is this feature hard to find?

[–] makecheck 16y ago ↗ TextEdit, yes.But I Googled "mac utf-8 editor" and found this page at the top: http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/utilities_editors_macosx.htm...There are a lot of them, and they didn't even mention "vim" (as long as your terminal supports UTF-8).
