you've chosen to reply in an overly aggressive manner. I know how easy it is to get worked up over personal projects, but frankly I didn't expect to get attacked for recommending Sigil as a tool to solve people's problems. I regard this thread as closed, I won't be looking at it again.
Umm... aggressive? I certainly didn't mean to be. I'm perfectly calm. If I came across as aggressive or argumentative, you have my heartfelt apologies, honestly.

But I've reread my responses now a few times and I still can't see any "aggression".

In the circumstances of the issue which this thread concerns, Sigil's assumption that the contents of an ePub are UTF-8 is a useful attribute that makes it easy to fix an apparently common problem.
Well create an issue on the tracker for that (and attach the epub). I'm deeply interested, UTF-16 should be working just fine. I'm using a Qt function for loading Unicode encoded text files in the current version, and this loads all UTF variants without problems... at least the last time I tested it.
