Changing The Encoding Type Of A C# File?

I'm making an SVN patch for a .cs file and I'm having a little trouble. After making the patch, 开发者_JS百科all I can see in my text editor is a bunch of gobble-dee-goop. A lot of unrecognized characters and all of that. I'm wondering if there's a way to change the encoding type to fix this problem (so I can see and apply the patches).

Thanks!

If you are using Visual Studio: (with that file active) File, Advanced Save Options

If you have Notepad++, it has various encoding switching options.
