Why does Sass prepend an incorrect @charset rule?

Question

I use

sass --watch scss:css

to have Sass automatically create CSS files (and put them in the /css directory) for each SCSS fi

Answer 1

Try adding @charset "UTF-8"; to your original SCSS file, SASS shouldn't override it/add its own then.

Answer 2

Like @Alireza-Fatahi states in this answer, you could save a line in CSS output and instead go for a default Charset on external files, by adding this line to your config.rb in your project folder:

Encoding.default_external = "UTF-8"
