I am working on a DIAdem project and I use the GIT to version my files. It seems DIAdem uses defaultly UTF-16LE encoding, which makes GIT treat the files as binary. So when making commits I don't get any change logs, only that the files differ.
So I manually changed all the files to UTF-8. But now the DIAdem behaves strangely:
- Some letters are not shown correctly now => e.g. '?' gets shown instead of Δ, sometimes weirder letters.
- When I fix replace this letters in DIAdem the script runs fine and in the reports I get the correct letters.
- When I close the file and open it afterwards, some letters get destroyed again. (‰ and ° seem to work after the first fix, Δ not)
What do I do wrong? Does DIAdem not fully support UTF-8? If not, how should I version the files using GIT and still have the file comparisons? I tried some suggestions found online, but they did not work for me.
