I have a text file that needs to be in ANSI mode. It specifies only that: ANSI. Notepad++ has an option to convert to ANSI and that does the trick.
In VS Code I don't find this encoding option. So I read up on it and it looks like ANSI doesn't really exist and should actually be called Windows-1252.
However, there's a difference between Notepad++'s ANSI encoding and VS Code's Windows-1252. It picks different codepoints for characters such as an accented uppercase e (É), as is evident from the document.
When I let VS Code guess the encoding of the document converted to ANSI by Notepad++, however, it still guesses Windows-1252.
So the questions are:
- Is there something like pure ANSI?
- How can VS Code convert to it?
