Removing of Hex Characters in Source members

I know this was discussed  back in May for iSeries Projects, but is there 
any other place the Text File Encoding can be changed?

We are not using the iSeries Project perspective, just the Remote System 
Explore perspective (plus I've gone into the  
Windowq>Preferences>Workbench>Editors  panel and change the "Text file 
encoding" to be UTF-8" like what was discussed in the archives) and this 
didn't help.

Maybe I should be asking if the RSE perspective and LPEX editor use this 
value or is there some thing like this that can be set for them? 

What I found stranger is that even if I do not save the source back to the 
file the Hex Codes are stripped out an dreplaced with "?".  Not trying to 
beat a dead horse but we have several people that  use highlighting and 
Hex Codes that "need" this to be there for the moment, or they are likely 
not to switch till PDM is pried from their cold dead hands.
