How to check font code? (UTF8, ect?)

[X_Splinter]

Hey guys I just found a .srt that my Media Player can read all characters like "ã" and "é"

So I want to know which font code it uses, how can I check that?

SubtitleEdit detects encoding well - and actually so does notepad (if you try "file -> save as" you can see the encoding).

It's probably a unicode file - perhaps with missing BOM header. You can try to save the file in notepad as utf-8, and if your media player still cannot display unicode characters choose a unicode enabled font or save the srt as an old ANSI file.
