 | Is there some way to edit an XML file containing UTF-8 characters using VIM?
I would have thought that VIM would default to UTF-8 for XML files, or even
look at the explicit encoding specified in the first line of the file, but
all extended characters appear as multiple gibberish characters so obviously
VIM is treating the sequence of escapes as separate ASCII characters, not as
representing a single character. I have tried explicitly setting the
encoding to UTF-8,. but that does not change the behavior.
It is frustrating that I cannot use the standard Windows Alt-numeric keypad
technique to enter extended characters, although I accept that is a cost to
running a cross-platform editor. But it is very annoying that I cannot even
cut and paste extended characters into the XML file. They are pasted in as
single characters, which are then interpreted as the beginning of multi-byte
escape sequences.

ctrl+v (or ctrl+q if you have "behave mswin" in ~/.vimrc)?
