Cp1252 problem

Hi,
My source file has Chinese characters in it, when saving the file
Eclipse alerts it cannot be saved due to "Some characters cannot be
mapped using "Cp1252" character encoding.". Why? Is it the problem
about Unicode support? My machine is running on WinXP x64 Pro English.

Regards,
Sam Huang

You have to tell Eclipse you want to save the file as Unicode. The
default is probably cp1252. File-> Properties -> Text file encoding ->
choose UTF-8 or enter it.

For questions about Eclipse, you’ll be better off in one of the Eclipse
newsgroups: www.eclipse.org/news

Because Cp1252 doesn't contain thsoe characters. Try saving the file in,
say, UTF-8, which contains all of Unicode.
