[Solved] Visual Studio Code - no Polish characters in files with Windows-1252 encoding

Until now, I used the system Notepad to write AutoHotkey scripts. Not knowing exactly why. I didn't feel like changing the default editor somehow. Today I set up VSC. What was my surprise - in VSC I have 'Auto Guess Encoding' turned on by default, because I work with files with different character encoding and I want it to be detected automatically. When I opened VSC the AHK script written in Notepad and saved with Windows-1252 encoding, I saw that the comments were missing Polish characters. Why is this happening? I also have many other files saved with this encoding and it is not profitable for me to convert everything to UTF-8.

Use some normal lightweight development editor. VSCode is terribly greasy, and maybe has "overengineering"
Notepad +, Scite or whatever else is there.
They have a normal human encoding setting, if you set it, it won't spell.

with UTF-8 gently, it's a variable length standard

There are no Polish characters in CP 1252. The Windziana "Polish" code page is CP 1250.

@ ex-or So why do I see Polish characters when I open these files in the Windows Notepad in which they were written? VSC states that their encoding is Windows-1252.

Seems to be a VSC bug after all:

Anyway, thank you for your help.
