Yes, I always use UltraEdit to convert the text to unicode, 'cause I cannot always be sure which encoding the downloaded file is in. Most stuff I downloaded are in txt format, but again, it could be in GB or Big5 or UTF-8, I always open it in UltraEdit and choose convert UTF-8 (unicode editing) if the option is enabled in the menu.
