Pd < 0.43 is probably something like ISO-8859-1 or perhaps UTF-8, Pd
0.43 is UTF-8. UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1 will both be fully ANSI if only
the standard ASCII chars are used, i.e. no ü, ã, é, etc.
For converting, I like moocow/any2bytes and moocow/bytes2any.

Hi,
I was curious to know what is the standard encoding of pd files in
each operating system. According to Notepad+, in XP is ANSI.Or a followup question, which format is better for pd to read a
string of characters and convert it to floats? ANSI seems the be
most reliable here where it comes to interpreting the data, although
utf8 without BOM renders them in the symbol atom more accurately.The reason I'm asking is because I'm working with converting ascii
characters to their float value.If anyone wants, I can send a small test patch to try out.
