You can change a text-encoding.

"files.encoding": "utf8" -> it's default

Click on File -> Preferences -> User Setting -> Files -> files.encoding

Thanks! It's a good point. However I don't program in Spanish very often, this is an exception because I was updating a project and I discovered that in Notepad, Wordpad, etc. The file is opened successfully without any additional configuration and not here.

Yes, you have to set the encoding of the file, either just for the file or in settings. We default to UTF-8 and I guess that file is using a different encoding.

Hi @bpasero , I understand your point. However in Visual Studio, Notepad, Notepad++, Wordpad, etc. I don't need to do any special configuration to open one specific file, as I explain before, I tend to program more in English than in other language, but I noticed this challenge when I tried to open this XML with Latin Characters.
