Adobe Brackets UTF-8 character errors?

When I use Notepad++ I'll save files in "UTF-8 with BOM" to avoid character displays issues like this. But Adobe Brackets only offers "UTF-8" encoding. I enjoy this program but this seems like a really BASIC oversight in not being able to process special characters like ♥ but some more common. Here's an example of what I'm referring to which should be a fancy single-quote:

If I go into Notepad++ and save it "with BOM" it will display fine.

Does anyone understand why this happens and how to remedy it? How could they make such a great application and overlook this. Am I missing something really simple? This happens with PHP and JavaScript files.

Solution

  • Alright I found a resolution by adding this in HTML

    <meta charset="utf-8" />

    or this in PHP

    header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
