HexEditor for UNICODE characters

kozlof · #1 02-23-2026, 08:56

Hello,
I am looking for a hex editor for creating language localizations that can display Unicode characters in a column of characters: Cyrilici, Chinese characters, etc.
I know that this is a matter of the OS, that for example on EN-US Windows, Cyrilice is usually displayed incorrectly, but Heaven Resource Tuner can do it.
So my question is: is there a hex editor that can do this?

Doesn't 010editor handles unicode characters? Can you give a binary?

Winhex has also support for some basic and a lot of various codepages. See picture.
