I want to use the character encoding UTF-8 (without BOM) on my files. I can change the encoding from the "Format" menu, but it is reset every time I create a new file or open a file.
How can I do so Notepad++ uses UTF-8 (without BOM) as default encoding?

Go to
Settings -> Preferences -> New Document/ Open Save Directory
and then in
New Document -> Encoding check UTF8 without BOM
You might also want to tick "Apply to opened ANSI files":

Thanks! This worked perfectly for me for viewing Chinese Simplified characters. – Bad Programmer – 2013-03-15T20:00:45.870

Just bumping once again here at superuser
Step 1: Settings -> Preferences -> New Document ->[Encodng] UTF-8 without BOM (check Apply to opened ANSI files)
but any how it hadn't solved mine , i searched out and found that its a bug!
Notepad++ v6.4.5 bug fixes:
1.Fix a crash issue while there's missing tag in functionList.xml.
2.Fix UTF-8 (w/o BOM) detection bug.
Step 2: That's all have an update to >= v6.4.5 and follow Step 1

hey @Jonas, Do you mean use UTF-8 (without BOM) as default encoding for multiple sessions? I use notepad++ and cannot seem to replicate this behavior. Could it be a profile issue? – slotishtype – 2011-06-02T14:37:11.150
