Visual Studio 2015 Community note: File/Advanced Save Options

When working with applications for international markets, being able to support local languages is important. Technically, this boils down to being enable store special characters like Å, Ä and Ö in your applications. Visual Studio has great support for storing source code files in different encodings, UTF-8 being one of the most common in use today.

However, there's one little thing related to encodings and the new free, Visual Studio Community edition. The main menu command "File/Advanced Save Options" is only visible when working with the code editor. If you are working with an UWP or WPF application for instance, and have a XAML view page open, this menu command is not available.
