<p>Where can I set it? I need files to be encoded in UTF-8 by default... there is nothing in Tools -> Options or any other menu as far as I know :( </p>

<p>P.S. I don't need to set default encoding for Project or so, I need it to be default for any files I create. Thanks for your help :)</p>

IIRC, source files in visual studio are already encoded as UTF-8.
However, if I'm wrong or if you just want to force any specific coding, you can do it by choosing the
```
Save As...
```
option for the file and checking the pull down options under the save button from there.
