CodeLite IDE

Hello. CodeLite is new for me but I like it already. The problem appears when I open files containing characters in my language. It is characters like this: ØÆÅøæå. Using utf-8. The characters are being shown wrong in the editor and of course if I saved them they will be saved coded wrong. Most of the files have being written in Geany editor. What can I do to make CodeLite read the files right?
I have long json files containing things like postcodes for the whole country full of those characters.
I will be very happy if some one could tell me how to solve that problem.

thanks in advance.

Is it possible to attach a sample file here?
Maybe it's a bug...
