A lightweight Windows text editor that fully supports Unicode and large files.
EmEditor is an excellent text editor with full support for UTF-8 and UTF-16 documents. Text saved by EmEditor is almost never broken and therefore recommended for those running non-Latin charsets.
The program has an excellent search engine which highlights occurrences of the word(s) you're searching for. It is also good as a search-and-replace program. Another feature that is helpful is the bookmark system which can bookmark specific lines of text within a file. Similar to bookmarks are markers.
A somewhat unique feature that EmEditor has included is a messaging plug-in which allows its users in an enterprise environment to send working files to other computers on the network.
For developers of most of the popular languages, EmEditor provides superb code syntax highlighting and works nicely with its built-in support for C-based programming languages.
In a word, this program is powerful and comes packed with many of its best features out-of-the-box. Of course, there are also plug-ins available.
