International language characters

I recently learned it's possible to include international language characters like "ñ" directly, without using their decimal representations. To do this:
  1. Download notepad++
  2. Open your XML or SQL file.
  3. Encoding menu -> Convert to UTF-8 without BOM (byte order mark).

This appears to work correctly, with one caveat. The regular windows notepad appears to not save in the proper UTF-8 format, and adds a byte order mark. This breaks the file. MS Notepad is the default editor for such files, something people need to be aware of if they want to edit your files.
