Hello, I am looking for some information, and hoping one of you kind people could help me.
What type of character encoding does a .odt file use is it UTF-8 ?? Also, what is the default character set, is it ISO 8859-1 ?
Any insight into the encoding and character set used by .odt would be super helpful.
Thanks!!!

Re: Question about character encoding
I don't know but a .odt file is actually a ZIP file. Unzip it and look at content.xml. Does that answer your question? If not see The Apache OpenOffice Wiki

Re: Question about character encoding
The editor works internally with unicode.
Inside .odt ZIP container, most of the content is stored as XML files. XML rules state that encoding must be utf-8, unless preamble declaration change it explicitly. In practice my documents are always utf-8.

Code: Select all
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="current_encoding_name_here" ?>
