    The chars were displayed correctly in BBEdit. But I see that if I change the value in the EOGenerator editor, the chars are displayed correctly. BUT if I close the editor and open it back, the chars are wrong :-(

    So I tried to fix it by deleting the .eogen, create a new one, and retype the variable's value. No luck, same problem.

EOGenerator in the past was using ISO-Latin-1, but I think a year ago it was moved to UTF-8, which is good. So I changed the encoding of our templates to UTF-8, and that's fine. The problem is is that we have EOGenerator variable with value is :
