LogoTurboSFV - Unicode support
Overview
File or folder names can contain Unicode characters. The functionality of TurboSFV is not limited to ANSI characters and the encoding of the hash file can be adjusted accordingly.

TurboSFV supports the calculation of checksums for files with Unicode characters in file or folder names.

Here are some example characters. For a correct display of these characters, you must have the font "Segoe UI" installed on your system.
* Unicode code point Meaning
Ħ U+0126 Latin capital letter H with stroke
Ω U+03A9 Greek capital letter Omega
Ѥ U+0464 Cyrillic capital letter E lotified
U+215E Seven eights
U+2776 Nega­tive circled digit one
U+FDFC Rial sign
Whether you are hashing files, folders or drives - TurboSFV properly handles Unicode characters.

Default encoding for the hash file
TurboSFV
LE: SignPE: SignCE: SignXE: Sign
You can define one of the available encodings (Ansi, UTF-8 or UTF-16) as the standard encoding for the hash file.

By selecting Auto, the needed encoding will be automatically detected. You can prioritize UTF-8 or UTF-16 as the Unicode capable encoding.

The defined or detected encoding will be suggested in the "Save-as"-dialog.

Automatic Unicode character detection in file names
TurboSFV
LE: SignPE: SignCE: SignXE: Sign
TurboSFV tries to find Unicode characters in file names and/or paths. If it finds one and you have selected Ansi as the encoding type for the hash file, you will be reasked for the encoding:

Unicode characters can't be written to Ansi files. Doing so means to loose character information and impacted files can't be found during the validation.

Hash value calculation for files with Unicode file names
TurboSFV

TurboSFV handles Ansi and Unicode file names in the same way. You can use any of the available hash algorithms: CRC-32, MD5, SHA-1, XXH32, XXH64, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512, SHA-512/224, SHA-512/256, BLAKE2S-256, BLAKE2SP-256, BLAKE2B-256, BLAKE2B-384, BLAKE2B-512, BLAKE2BP-256, BLAKE2BP-384, BLAKE2BP-512, SHA3-224, SHA3-256, SHA3-384 and SHA3-512.

TurboSFV automatically detects the encoding of the hash file, finds files with Unicode characters in the file name and validates the checksums.
