No. It, like all older windows programs uses ANSI by default. It can save as Unicode. Note that ANSI 0 - 127 = ASCII 0 - 127 (which also = Unicode 0 - 127).

Type edit in Start Run for an ASCII editor.

edlin (as an .exe now instead of a .com file) is still available too (since
I use it in some .bat files because it will accept commands from stdin).

I did actually consider being a smartarse and suggesting edlin. I remember getting Dos 3.3 home and my text editor up to that point was IBM's XEdit (really powerfull). I looked at Edlin with real dismay.
