• BBEdit works easily with Unicode files, including those containing glyphs from multiple disparate languages (e.g. Roman, Japanese, and Cyrillic all in the same file)
• Hard or soft? Wrap text however you prefer: soft wrapped lines may be indented to the “hard” start of the line, to the left margin of the window, or reverse-indented
• Quoted text rewrapper – makes reformatting or preparing email and Usenet content easy
• Support for rectangular text selections, including copying/pasting and application of many of BBEdit’s text transformations
