Reported by jt...@evernote.com, Jul 11, 2012
Affected Version:

2.4-rc0

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Create a review request that includes a change to a UTF-16 encoded file.
2. Attempt to view a diff in gerrit for the UTF-16 encoded file.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected: Gerrit displays a textual diff of the changes.

Actual: Gerrit treats the file as binary and cannot show a textual diff.

The UTF 16 code page files should be recognized by gerrit as text files not as binary files. It is for compatibility for example MS Visual Studio *.rc files.
