问题
When I open a multi-byte file, I get this:
回答1:
If memory serves, Emacs will prompt the User for an encoding if it cannot determine one. When it makes a wrong determination you can use
C-x RET f coding RET
which will use coding as the coding system for the visited file in the current buffer.
回答2:
Short term, you can revisit the file with an alternate coding system with revert-buffer-with-coding-system (select utf-16le then).
Middle term, you can bump the priority of that utf-16le encoding on load with prefer-coding-system.
Long term, however, you'd better try to understand why emacs did not pick the right encoding. I'm not sure how I can help there though, short of digging inside the coding system guts, or at least have a file to reproduce.
EDIT: Does this file have a BOM ?
回答3:
In xml files, Emacs takes this is big endian, while Windows takes this as little endian.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
<hi />
Trying something like encoding="UTF-16LE" or encoding="UTF16-16BE" will ruin the xml file after saving. It will take off the BOM. utf-16le no bom can be opened in Notepad.
