ANSI vs Unicode

I thought Propeller Tool was using Unicode all the time. However when I save some files I get the following error:
"This source code contains characters that can only be stored as Unicode-encoded text, but the file XXXX.spin is ANSI-encoded text. Is it okay to overwrite the file with the current Unicode-encoded text?

I always edit the files with the IDE itself so I don't understand why I get this error!

    It's not an error. It's just asking if you want to save it in Unicode. The IDE seems to use ANSI when there are only ANSI characters. If you eg. insert a special character from the Character Chart (Help|View Character Chart , then click a character to insert it), the file can no longer be represented in ANSI. So it will be saved in Unicode.
