Saving unicode content with encoding
Here's a quick tip that you may or may not know about. In Visual Studio (and possibly other MS programs) it's not enough to paste some unicode content into your file and then hit save. You'll also need to save it with the correct encoding. However, once you save the file with a particular encoding, it will continue to use that encoding until you switch it (this means you won't have to keep doing this for each save)
Here are the steps to do this:
simple choose file->save as
in the save-as dialog the "Save" button has a little pull down arrow.
Select this arrow and then choose "Save With Encoding"
This will open a dialog with a drop down that lists all the supported encodings.
Here are some screenshot to help out:
