Trouble with unicode, I think

Hi,

I had been experimenting with the russian keyboard to get to learn about unicode, and then fired up xcode, and accidentally entered and deleted some russian characters. When I tried to build, that file was giving me errors that didn't seem to make sense, about character /378 (from memory, probably wrong) in the first line.

I looked at the offending .m file in HexEditor (from ex-cinder.com), and noticed that the file was encoded in utf-16. D'Oh. I guess GCC doesn't handle that yet. But it was a difficult thing to restore it. Why does the editor allow it if the rest of the system is going to give up on it?

I used SubEthaEdit, which confirmed that it was in utf-16, did some copy-and-pasting to a new window, saved it as utf-8 and tried to open it in x-code. This time it looked like Chinese, and was all on one line. It looked like objective-C in SubEthaEdit, and chinese pictograms in xcocde.

In the end I deleted the files and reconstructed them in XCode. A lot of time wasted.

Is this a known issue?
