Character Code and Different System Language

When AppleScript Editor saves a script file including Japanese words as TEXT file format, that character code is UTF-16LE. I figure out so. But in a different system language, the character code is not the same one. Would you look at following a screenshot;


A file that was saved in Japanese language environment is Shift-JIS. The same contents’ file that was saved in English language is UTF-16LE. Each file was saved as different character code.

I’m working usually in English language system. When I receive files that were saved in Japanese language environment, I have to be wary though the scripts are able to run.
