		I've tried and tried to find a text editor for my batch-file programming that saves and views Unicode characters, and shows syntax highlighting. 
Unfortunately Crimson editor, my first attempt, won't display them. neither will Notepad++. In fact the only free program I've found that displays them is plain old NotePad! 
 
Does anyone know of any¿ 
 
Oh and if you are a DOS geek you'll probably know dos only understands asci & ascii encoded batch files, but thats where the type unicode.bat > ascii.bat comes in handy.

		My personal favorite: GNU Emacs 21.  It's a beast (and totally different than every other editor on Windows), but it can handle Unicode NO PROBLEM!

Wow, complex!. Giving it a try. 
 
EDIT: Notepad 2 works a charm. Might learn vim a little later on. 
Thankyou!
