vim on RHEL8 does not correctly detect the encoding of Japanese text files
Issue
- When I open a Japanese text file in vim, the characters are garbled. OS versions prior to RHEL8 do not have this problem when opening the same text file.
-
When I check the encoding of the file with the following command in vim, no encoding is selected. It seems that the encoding detection is failing.
:set fenc? fileencoding=
