I have added the following line some days ago to enable NERDTree and Tagbar fancy arrows.
scriptencoding utf-8
set encoding=utf-8
Everything works fine. It displays äüöÄÜÖ without problems in text files of any kind. But just today I have seen the following line not showing this character correctly:
Bereits bei der <e4>ltsten <c4>nderung
... which is the information message that undo it at it's last change.
Is there a way to keep fancy arrows and correctly display messages?
Removing set encoding=utf-8
brings back Umlaute but also fancy arrows are gone.
fileencoding
toutf-8
but the problem remains. Will try Christians solution next.
