Unicode Editor

Alas, my version of Ultraedit handles unicode in a manner incompatible with PHP's stream functions (PHP chokes if it steps on a null byte, and Ultraedit puts loads of null bytes in files marked explicitely "unicode" (it also uses the 0xFFFE3C00 beginning block, which PHP is reporting back). And I don't feel like upgrading.

So... how are your PHP editors at handling Unicode input? Firefox is certainly very good at making sure it doesn't choke on Unicode characters, but obviously it can't be used for coding. Heh.

Hmph... this may be a significant enough impetus to make me change text editors... and certainly we don't discuss unicode all too often (I'm referring to this topic: viewtopic.php?t=37439 )!

Well... at least UltraEdit supports hexadecimal editing... hmph.

vim 6.3 (my editor of choice) has pretty solid (and configurable) support for utf-8 and ucs2.
