Took you a long time to write this comment and the other when you could have written the code.
And you can insult my intelligence all you want, I don't give a ****. You're really quite unpleasant, and I don't understand why you help here if all you do is whine about "noobs" and post unhelpful "advice", or rather, puzzles.
Perhaps, in a fictional universe where you didn't ask for everything to be chewed, spat out, and presented to you on a silver platter, and where you read what people told you, you wouldn't find me unpleasant. Try taking a look from
my point of view. I've been around since 2008, and I've spent pretty much all of this time in this very section. I've seen the sort of "recruit" that heeds no advice, keeps asking questions about the simplest of things instead of going through the documentation/tutorials/previous answers. People of that sort usually serve no purpose in the community except forcing people like me to repeat themselves on multiple occasions, diluting the already-diluted pool of information even more. Those people, in case English wasn't their native language, would probably do nothing to improve their skills, and expect their dreadful grasp of the language to be excused solely because they're not native speakers.
I'm not saying you're one of those people, because I don't know you, but I can't deny that you're drifting closer to that end of the spectrum rather than the other one.
There's plenty of examples here of recruits who are (or were) on the completely opposite end; and of veterans who were here before me and know modding better than me. And who're usually too polite (a characteristic those first people usually lack) to comment on anything.
Instead of taking jabs at me for being "unpleasant" and for forcing you to
think, try doing that instead. Show some respect and gratitude for those more experienced, especially when they use their precious time to aid you; fall silent for a second, search thoroughly and dig through ancient threads before giving up and saying there's no information anywhere.
In our particular case, the documentation link that Kalarhan gave you explicitly featured an example that used the utf-8 encoding in the same way you needed to, and I found that example in less than twenty seconds of skimming through the top of the file. You can't really blame us for not giving you your answers; and you most definitely can't blame me for asking you to replace a word with another word (especially when we're talking about a sentence in the shape of "REPLACE THIS: default_value").
It's important to also note how I'm telling you this: calmly, solemnly, feeling a little amused. Nothing else. I feel absolutely no desire to "insult [your] intelligence"; and your claims that my advice is unhelpful are false, as every single (wo)man here, of those who've known me even in passing, will tell you. As for the "whining"... I see you can be funny, and I appreciate that.
You have brought this on yourself, one could say... But instead of getting offended or outraged or whatever compelled you to write that last post of yours, I would urge you to think about it. Let's leave this nonsense behind us! The only important thing in life is to be a better (wo)man than you were yesterday, you know.
Alternatively, feel free to insult me and tarnish your image even further. I'm
sure you love presenting yourself as an ungrateful brat.
Oh, wait, you actually edited the post whilst I was writing this, digging yourself into the hole even further. I guess that writing posts like mine
takes a long time.

5 lines of whining, without saying "replace", just stating a "desired encoding". Not how to implement the encoding.
And to answer your question:

Just look at some of the ModSys files. They've got an explicitly declared "
" right at the top.
And

write "

You're welcome!
Now you seem to have edited it back. I'll imagine you never said it.
Again, just to be even more explicit: I've got nothing ill against you, and I most likely never will.* Remember, I'm here to
help, of my own volition. As is everyone else.
* A curious side note is that everyone who has "taken up arms" against me, two people in total over the years, has ended up perma-banned. Please, don't join their ranks. You're better than that.
