I totally agree. Numeric character references are very hard to read. You can't see if you have typed the wrong character. But as HTML entities are limited to a subset of Unicode characters, users should have the choice to use one or another (and may be the choice to use numeric character reference in hexadecimal). Two great possible enhancements would be a dockable list box for special characters and the possiblity to change the encoding on a text block (useful when copy/paste from a text file). Bump I would post the same wish request and found this. Using Version 3.5.7. Are there any efforts to add that feature? It would be very nice. I believe that in PSPad (my editor of choice in Windows), it would show you the accented character, but the file itself would have either ä or ä. I'm not completely sure on that, but that would be an ideal solution. Due to this problem for most european user this program is not usefull yet. For example in BlueFish i see all special character correctly. Quanta replace it an others. It is not good. I dont see "ű ü ó ú í" characters in HTML source code. SVN commit 769457 by amantia: Insert literal character entities if possible.

Dear Andr Just a short summary here about how Quanta works. The conversion happens only if one the following conditions is true:
- the introduced character cannot be encoded in the codepage selected for the document
- the automatic conversion is enabled
To completely avoid automatic conversion, you should use UTF8 for your documents and disabled the conversion in the settings dialog.
