I'm trying to get the Notepad to save by default in Unicode rather than ANSI. I use a font that has characters that don't work with ANSI, and I've remapped the keyboard to add several more characters that I use often enough, and they don't translate into ANSI either. I can do it manually, but I have to do it every time I save something anew in the Notepad.

Is there a registry setting I can change to get the Notepad to save to Unicode by default? And what might that be?

TIA.
