That is a long standing bug/feature request and multiple issues have been raised and closed as duplicates from each other and other strange reasons. The result is it still doesn't support this pretty basic editor feature and in combination with a <a href="https://github.com/editorconfig/editorconfig-vscode/issues/35">lack of support for charset of EditorConfig</a> and a <a href="https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/35350">lack of support of file extension specific settings</a>, things easily become pretty difficult to handle especially in legacy projects. So please vote on this issue:</p> <p><a href="https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/148238">Encoding detection from XML header</a></p> <p>Thanks!</p> vscode programming opensource github
