Product:Developer Tools Product Version:Xcode 6.0b2/6A216f
Classification:UI Reproducible:
 
Summary:
Swift source files can contain identifiers and comments using Unicode characters.
It makes no sense to allow any encodings but the first 4 UTF ones in the Xcode popup, since there are no legacy files to consider, and forcing/allowing any other encoding will cause incorrect interpretation of non-ASCII characters.

Interesting side-effect of correcting this: .strings files should also be UTF-only.

Steps to Reproduce:
In Xcode 6, select any .swift file and open the File Inspector. Click on the "Text Encoding" popup.

Expected Results:
Only the first 4 UTF encodings should be available/and or enabled.

Actual Results:
All encodings are available and enabled.
