title: How to view UTF-8 Characters in Vim or gVim
body: <p>I work on webpages involving non-English scripts from time to time, most of them are encoded using UTF-8.</p>
  <p>Vim and gVim do not display those UTF-8 characters correctly.</p>
  <p>I'm using Vim 7.3.46 on Windows 7, 64-bit, with <code>set guifont=Monaco:h10</code> in _vimrc.</p>
  <p>Is there a way to fix this?</p>
  <p>Update: I've googled around and found <code>set guifontwide</code> acts as second fallback for regional languages.</p>
  <p>I added the following lines to _vimrc and most of my problems got solved.</p>
  <pre><code>set enc=utf-8
  set fileencoding=utf-8
  set fileencodings=ucs-bom,utf8,prc
  set guifont=Monaco:h11
  set guifontwide=NSimsun:h12
  </code></pre>
  <p>The above NSimsun font works for Chinese, The problem is, I don't know how they got the font name to work with Vim, <code>Courier New</code> is mentioned as <code>Courier_New</code> also <code>NSimsun</code> is nowhere in the font directory. The font I want to use is <code>Latha</code> But, I don't know how to use it in the _vimrc file. <code>set guifontwide=latha:h12</code> or <code>set guifontwide=Latha:h12</code> doesn't work.</p>
  <p>If I successfully set the <code>guifontwide</code> to <code>latha</code>, then my problem will be solved. How to do it?</p>
