Sublime merge diff panel can not correctly display Asian characters

[alexq]

I just wanted to purchase sublime merge but suddenly found this problem, the characters are in Chinese in this case, and I also found it can not work on other Asian characters either.

I tried to follow the sublime text strategies to solve this problem, which means using “Install Package”+“ConvertToUTF8”, but it seems not to work in the case of sublime merge.

Is there any solution to tackle this issue?

Just like git, Sublime Merge assumes all your files are in UTF-8. There’s two situations where this is not the case: You have a .gitattributes file that explicitly sets the encoding or working-tree-encoding of that file, or your file contains an invalid UTF-8 character.
