How are we supposed to paste text in XCode?

Behind this dumb question, there is a bug in XCode as far as I can tell.

Let's say I have a .strings file whose file encoding format is UTF-16.

When I paste some text from Mail or TextEdit to this .strings file opened in XCode, most of the time I'm losing the UTF-16 encoding. This is a real problem when you're dealing with localizations which are not English.

A quick example could be to select all the text in the .strings file and replace it with some text from TextEdit.

So my question is:

"How are you supposed to paste text in XCode so that you never lose the encoding?"

Additionally, I would like to point out that it could be very interesting to make XCode restrict the encodings of .strings and .plist file respectively to UTF-16 and UTF-8 as this is the required format AFAIK.

Doing so would prevent people from wasting their time checking and re-checking the encoding of localized resources because currently, for my part, I can't trust XCode on this matter.
