Thanks people you have solved my problem. (Thank God, it was driving me nuts...)

You are absolutely correct. I tried setting the Input Character Encoding to 'Unicode' but that did not work. 'UTF-16' does not appear in the Input character encoding dropdown list and it never occurred to me to set it to 'UTF-16'.
WordPad has four 'Save As' options: ANSI, Unicode, Unicode big endian and UTF-8. Notepad is the same.
Using ANSI was giving me the annoying black-diamond-with-question-marks for the odd character so I changed to Unicode encoding.
SOLUTION:
Save your text in
UTF-8 format using the 'Save As' dialog of WordPad or Notepad.
In
Look & Feel, set
Input character encoding to
UTF-8
In
TXT Input, set
Paragraph style to
off and set
Formatting style to
textile.
If you
have to use Unicode, then set
Input character encoding to
UTF-16
Using ANSI is not recommended since it will give you black-diamond-with-question-marks for the odd character (don't ask me why...)
