No surprise there! It can't even deal with various line endings.
How
pathetically lame!
It's a surprise to me. Diff(1) works fine with utf-8 or any other
encoding. It simply notes that the lines are different and prints
the lines out. Admittedly, diffing utf-16 doesn't look very pretty
but that's because my terminal is expecting utf-8 and diff is just
dumping bytes.
Yeah, but we're talking about FileMerge, not diff. FileMerge finds
differences (assuming line endings are to diff's liking), but doesn't
display them correctly.
