That's an encoding problem. Apparently, Quanta saves project files in UTF-8, but 
doesn't seem to do so for non-project files. 
 
Check if you are not making encoding problems.

It is possible to set the encoding for files in lot of places:

1. In Settings->Configure Quanta->Environment : the default for every file not 
belonging to a project
2. In the Project Options for project files
3. In the save/save as dialog if you want to select a specific encoding for a 
single file.

And yes, it looks like an encoding problem.

I've committed a fix to use the default (project or global) encoding also for 
new files. It should bring you the correct encoding in the Save As dialog. If 
you still see the problem, even if you use e.g utf8/utf16 or the encoding for 
your language on open/save, please send me a test file. But be careful, that 
you must use the same encoding when you open the file as it was used when 
you've saved the file. This statement is valid both for Quanta and Kate! 
And Quanta will always offer the same encoding on saving as the one was used 
while opening the file. Of course you can select another encoding in the Save 
As dialog.

As I got no reply, I assume that the encoding problem is solved.
