Who told you so or where did you read this?

The dox are quite "neutral" about this ;-)

Try saving with UTF16 encoding, work here for me (with TextEdit on OS 
X)...

In my experience UTF8 ALWAYS produces extremely "eastern" characters ;-)
when setting the htmltext of flield to that file...

Important hint -> use BINFILE:
...
set the htmltext of fld x to url"BINFILE:yadda.txt"
...

Hope that helps...
