File Types

The file type 'utxt' has been registered for UTF-16 plain text documents. The (optional) scrap type 'utxt' is also registered for UTF-16 Clipboard text.

Whether it is useful to register a file type or scrap type for UTF-8 text is currently under discussion. As do other documents and text that use WorldScript encodings, plain UTF-8 documents could use the file and scrap type 'TEXT'. UTF-8 is compatible with the assumptions that govern WorldScript encodings; these encodings are not specifically identified in 'TEXT' files and Clipboard contents.
