[HTTPS-Everywhere] Ruleset Name Character Encoding

I downloaded UPV.cz.xml and Zurcher_Kantonalbank.xml from Git.

When I opened them in Notepad, they were fine.

When I opened them in WordPad, the names were garbled in a similar way to
the HTTPS Everywhere preferences window.

I think the problem in both cases is that it is trying to read text as
ISO-8859-1 or Windows-1252 when it is actually UTF-8.
