    How can I use Find in Files (or another utility) to search for all files encoded with UTF8?

      All html files encoded with UTF-8 (should) have following line:

      <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>

      Search for the bold highlighted part with Find In Files.

      It's also possible to search for the BOM (byte order marker) EF BB BF which is displayed as . So you can search for this "string", too.

      UTF-8 files without BOM and without charset specification are hard to detect has UTF-8 files and are also hard to find. I hope you do not have such UTF-8 files.
