File Encodings

Last modified: 11 February 2024

PyCharm uses these settings to view and edit files for which it was unable to detect the encoding and uses the specified encodings for new files.

The Editor | File Encodings settings

If PyCharm can't determine the file or directory encodings, it falls back to the configured project encoding. If there is no project, PyCharm uses the global encoding. File or directory encodings take precedence over the project encoding, which, in turn, takes precedence over the global encoding.

For more information about handling file encodings, refer to Encoding.
