It's a little more inconspicuous. :D –trusktr Mar 2 '14 at 5:34 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 24 down vote Try saving with :w ++enc=utf-8. Also, it's recommended to put scriptencoding utf-8 at the top of your .vimrc. share|improve this answer answered Oct 10 '12 at 8:28 Ingo Karkat 97k1080124 1 saving file using w ++enc=utf-8 way resolve the error.

When writing, Vim uses the current setting of 'fileencoding' (*without* the 's' at the end) as the encoding in which to write the file. If the file did not originally have Unicode characters in it, quite possibly it was not detected as Unicode, so 'fileencoding' will be set to something else conversion error vim (from the 'filencodings' option) or it will be empty. If 'fileencoding' is empty, the value of 'encoding' is used instead. At least, this is how I understand it. Is there some situation I'm missing in which 'filencodings' (with the 's') is relevant to a write operation? > or you can force Vim to save it in utf-8 > encoding, by issuing :w ++enc=utf8 filename. This is true, but you can also do a :setlocal fileencoding=utf-8 before saving. > (It might be, that this > needs the +multi_byte feature, which is only enabled, when compiling at > least a big version of Vim). > Yes, I'm pretty sure it does require +multi_byte.
