ExternalDataCharacterEncoding
• ExternalDataCharacterEncoding is a global option that determines the character encoding used in reading and writing plain text data outside of Publicon.
• The setting for ExternalDataCharacterEncoding is not used when writing files that contain font specification (e.g. styled text clipboards, RTF files). In such situations, the character encodings appropriate to the fonts are used.
• The default setting for this option is the global variable $SystemCharacterEncoding, which specifies the character encoding used by the operating system.
