Can someone help me figure out how to encode an CUE sheet with UTF-8Y or UTF-16 Encoding? The CUE sheets contain Japanese characters which, when loaded into some program, are replaced with ?. I read somewhere that either UTF-8Y (because UTF-8 still doesn't work properly) or UTF-16 will be able to work. Thanks in advance.

Edit: I have Notepad 2, which doesn't load the Japanese characters correctly, and Notepad++, which doesn't have an encoding option for UTF-8Y or UTF-16 that I can see of.

Notepad 2 is able to load and save UTF-8Y, it's called 'UTF-8 with Signature'.
As for not loading Japanese characters, it probably doesn't detect the file encoding properly, you can force reloading of the file with correct encoding with 'File -> Encoding -> Recode' and selecting the correct encoding manually. Also, make sure the program is using a font that supports displaying of Japanese characters (View -> Default Font).

use UCS-2 little endian in notepad++ (it's the same as UTF-16)

Okay, I've just tried using Notepad 2 (updated to the latest version) and was able to adjust the encoding to UTF-8 Signature and it works as expected. There is a problem though but I'm not sure if it's related to the encoding or if it's Exact Audio Copy itself. When I load the CUE sheet into EAC, it still displays the characters as question marks.



Any ideas? By the way, I'm using the very latest EAC (0.99 pb5).

Edit: Maybe it was an older version or something, but I am positive that I was able to load a CUE sheet with Japanese characters into EAC with no problems, I don't remember what the encoding was nor do I have access to this file anymore.
