    <p>Preference / General / Workspace / Text file encoding</p> <p>In my configuration, I see Cp1252 (probably set after my OS current setup) and have no problem with any French character. UTF-8 is a more general setting which will accommodate any OS language setup.</p> <p>As noted in this <a href="http://softwaredevscott.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!1A9E939F7373F3B7!493.entry" rel="nofollow noreferrer">blog entry</a>, this should be UTF-8 by default, for encoding unlimited number of universal (Unicode) code points instead of a specific encoding grid like Cp1252.<br> (see <a href="http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Unicode.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">The Absolute Minimum Every Software Developer Absolutely, Positively Must Know About Unicode and Character Sets (No Excuses!)</a> from Joel Spolsky)</p> <p><img src="https://byfiles.storage.msn.com/y1pYqm9S4FXKfpNoaD51zqNpbseaMkkOAcnxCkrY_S4YHXTm59iJxln-vQJ-rUpCdv2RfYWhc6ya9Y" alt="alt text"></p> <p>The OP add:</p> <blockquote> <p>Also eclipse default encoding is set to UTF-8. </p> </blockquote> <p>Good!</p> <blockquote> <p>In wordpad, I can type in French by just using <kbd>Left Alt</kbd> + <kbd>Shift</kbd> key to switch language. How do I do that for eclipse?</p> </blockquote> <p>By typing the same combination: it will change the locale of the keyboard.<br> On my azerty keyboard, when I click within an eclipse editor (like a Java editor), I will see 'q' when I will type 'a', because the keyboard will be mapped to a qwerty one.</p>
