As you can see in the image, VSC shows me that strange character instead of the "ó". The worst of all is that it overwrites that word and stays as in the image. When I open the project in my eclipse it shows up with the weird character.
I need help setting it up so it doesn't do that. Thanks.
In a question that will probably be closed due to its low quality and the user's lack of interest, the following text was pasted, clearly incorrect because "strange" characters appeared instead of accented vowels or eñes:
with an iron rod) that there are too many redundancies and that only the argument should suffice. What I can say is my name. My name is"
Apparently the user received a text with some unknown encoding , opened it in an editor that used another (also unknown) encoding and copied and pasted what that editor showed him into the question.
Probably your operator, regardless of the encoding used by your editor, converted the text to Unicode in order to save it to the clipboard, and therefore the version that was finally pasted into the question is the UTF-8 representation of those Unicode characters.
The question is how could the original encoding of the data be determined? in order to restore the text as it should look.
