What it fixes
- Removes the BOM (byte order mark) at the start of the file, if it has one.
- Converts UTF-16 files (what Notepad calls "Unicode") to UTF-8.
- Fixes text that was already saved with the wrong encoding, where "café" shows up as "café" or quotes as "’".
- If the file isn’t valid UTF-8, it’s read as Windows-1252 (the most common encoding in older Windows files) instead of showing broken accents.
- Normalizes line breaks (a mix of Windows/Unix/Mac styles) to the format you choose.
