∟Supported Save and Open File Formats
This section provides a quick summary on Word saving and opening Unicode files correctly with the BOM character prepended. But Word can also open Unicode files without the BOM character prepended with the correct encoding selected manually.
Now we learned that Word can save Unicode text files in 3 encoding formats:
- Unicode (UTF-8) format - Text files saved in UTF-8 byte sequences with BOM, 0xEFBBBF, prepended.
- Unicode (Big-Endian) format - Text files saved in UTF-16 byte sequences in Big-Endian with BOM format.
- Unicode format - Text files saved in UTF-16 byte sequences in Little-Endian with BOM format.
Word can open Unicode text files in 6 encoding formats,
- UTF-8 format - Text files opened with encoding format automatically detected.
- UTF-8 with BOM format - Text files opened with encoding format automatically detected.
- UTF-16 (Big-Endian with BOM) - Text files opened with encoding format automatically detected.
- UTF-16 (Little-Endian with BOM) - Text files opened with encoding format automatically detected.
- UTF-16BE format - Text files can be opened if you select the "Unicode (Big-Endian)" encoding option manually.
- UTF-16LE format - Text files can be opened if you select the Unicode encoding option manually.
