Workspace Notes

Enhancement Request: Use UTF-8 to encode the notes.ini file.

The encode of notes.ini file is "ANSI", which can cause garbling of $NotesStartTime, then Traditional Chinese Notes client failing to start when the OS Region format is set to Traditional Chinese (Taiwan).

For example:

$NotesStartTime=2026/03/11 上午 09:44:54

In uncertain situations then changes to:

$NotesStartTime=2026/03/11 xxxxx 09:44:54 (garble code)

And the other known issue: https://support.hcl-software.com/csm?id=kb_article&sysparm_article=KB0117023

Please consider to use UTF-8 encode of notes.ini file, THANKS!
