How to save angular.json as UTF-8?

Question

I am deploying an Angular project on Ubuntu and am running into This issue ("Unexpected token m in JSON at position 0.")

Someone suggested that I resave my angular.json file as UTF-8. I'm not exactly sure how to do that, do I need to add code or just change a file type?

If anyone knows how to do that (and why that might help) that would be great. Thanks!

UTF-8 is the file's [encoding](https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2003/10/08/the-absolute-minimum-every-software-developer-absolutely-positively-must-know-about-unicode-and-character-sets-no-excuses/). What text editor are you using? — David Walschots, Oct 01 '18 at 18:35

To change the encoding of a file within vscode, do the following:

Open the file.
Look in the bottom right corner and press the name of the current encoding. In my example image below it is already UTF-8.
Select "save with encoding".
Pick the encoding you want to save the file with.

Great, thanks so much! That didn't turn out to be my bug but it answered my question. – Devstar34 Oct 01 '18 at 18:47
