Is there a way to change gedit encoding from UI?

  • 772

I have a txt file that came to me from windows Gedit can't read it properly (cyrillic became garbage)

So far I haven't found a way to make gedit read it by changing something from UI Gedit itself has only spelling highlight, right click -> properties doesn't have anything like that either

Is that possible? If not, how do I read the file?

  1. Yes.

    Go to Save as. Ctrl+shift+s will do.

    A menu at the bottom left shows the charachter encoding.

    Click to that, there's an option Add or remove.

    A windows appears with a list of character encodings at the left and plus button to add.
