Topic: No unicode symbols

This worked previously. Today I started Isabelle and when I type => then

\<Rightarrow>

appears but not the Unicode symbol. What should I tweak in some menu?

Interestingly, this happens only in my new theory, when I open an old one, the Unicode symbol appears.

happens from time to time when the file encoding is not properly identified. Usually when you opened the file with something else than Isabelle/jEdit

When Isabelle/jEdit saves files, it replaces all the unicode symbols with these ASCII replacements. When it loads a file, it substitutes the ASCII replacements with the Unicode symbols again for display. If there are already unicode symbols present in the text file when you load it, this error happens, because it's not supposed to be that way.

As Mathias said, that usually happens when you open an Isabelle file with a text editor and paste some unicode into it and save it.

Might it have happened because I imported

imports HOL.Option

but not Main ?

This was a brand new file and I did not touch it with other than Isabelle/jEdit.

Imports have nothing to do with the encoding of the file.
