           Summary: Kompare should support Unicode / UTF-8 text files
           Product: kompare
           Version: 3.4.1
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kompare-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: hashinclude gmail com


Version:           3.4.1 (using KDE 3.4.3, Kubuntu Package 4:3.4.3-0ubuntu2 )
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.10-5-386

At (my) present version, Kompare shows the ascii characters for UTF-8 text. It would be useful to have Kompare displaying Unicode (optionally, e.g. Settings->File Is UTF-8). This will be especially useful for translation folks, and also later when people need to diff UTF-coded text.
