What is the default encoding for source files in visual studio 2017 : <p>It seems visual studio 2017 always saves new files as UTF8-BOM. 
It also seems this was not the case with earlier versions of visual studio, but i could not find any documentation. </p>

<p>Also there has been an option "Advanced Save Options\Encoding" which did allow to change the encoding of newly saved files which is missing in VS2017.</p>

<p>Questions:</p>

<ul>
<li>Are all files types saved with UTF8-BOM encoding in VS2017</li>
<li>Is it possible to configure the encoding for new files in VS2017</li>
<li>Will VS2017 change the encoding of "old" files which don't have UTF8-BOM</li>
<li>Is there any documentation about this topic</li>
</ul>
