1 Notepad overview

Notepad is a basic text editor that you can use to create simple documents.
The most common use for Notepad is to view or edit text (.txt) files,
but many users find Notepad a simple tool for creating Web pages.

Because Notepad supports only very basic formatting,
you cannot accidentally[偶然,意外,有意装无意] save special formatting in documents
that need to remain pure text.This is especially useful when creating HTML
documents for a Web page because special characters or other formatting may
not appear in your published Web page or may even cause errors.

You can save your Notepad files as Unicode, ANSI, UTF-8, or big-endian Unicode.
These formats provide you greater flexibility when working with documents that use
different character sets.

2 Find specific[明确] characters or words

To find specific characters or words
1.On the Edit menu, click Find.
2.In Find what, type the characters or words you wnat to find.

Using different language formats in Notepad
Notepad allows you to create and open documents in
several different formats:
ANSI
Unicode
big-endian Unicode
UTF-8.
These formats allow you to work with documents that use
different character sets.

By default, your documents will be saved as standard ANSI text.

Unicode is a superset of all the major scripts of the world.
It includes character sets common to business and computer use.
When you save a document in Unicode, you can use
Unicode control characters [控制符]
to help with text flow and direction for languages
such as Arabic and Hebrew.
意思可能是说,用了unicode保存的文本
可以用 控制符 来改变诸如 阿拉伯语, 稀薄啦语的显示方式.

Some fonts cannot display all of the Unicode characters.
[的确,有些字符是非打印的,看不见的]
If you see any characters missing in your text file,
you can change the font to one the includes the character.
Generally, Microsoft Sans Serif is a good choice for Unicode characters.

The bytes(a unit of storage) in a word in a Unicode document created on a
big-endian processor, such as the Macintosh, are arranged in an order opposite
to that of the bytes in a word in a document created on an Intel processor.
===================
总算明白了,其实字符编码就三种
ANSI
Unicode
UTF-8
------------
big-endian Unicode就是Unicode,位排列不一样而已
===================
The most significant byte has the lowest address,
with the word stored big end first.

To make your documents accessible to users on these
types of computers, save your Noptepad file in the
big-endian Unicode format.

UTF stands for Universal Character Set Transformation Format.
UTF-8 is the 8-bit form of Unicode. Save your document in
UTF-8 if you are using older transmission *media* that
support only 8 bits of significant data within individual bytes.
=========================
media:
Any fixed or removable objects that store computer data.
Examples include hard disks, floppy disks, tapes, and
compact discs.
=========================

See the Unicode Consortium Web site for more information on
these formats.
