How to save the config in UTF8 encoding
Open the file > Click file > Save as... > Set encoding to UTF-8 > Click save
Open the file > Click encoding > Click UTF-8 (if that didn't work, use Convert to UTF-8)
Open the file in WinSCP and check if it is in UTF-8 encoding already (1). If it is not, click on ENCODING at the top (2), select UTF-8 (3) and then save the file. You can now edit the file as you like and paste in characters.
At the bottom right of VSCode, you can change the current file's encoding. It'll open a pop-up where you can select UTF-8
