vim - Encoding issue when changing vimrc file default location -


i'm using vim on windows, , in order "change" vimrc file location have following line in _vimrc file in home directory:

source $home\.vim\.vimrc 

i thought worked fine way when tried changing symbol plugin (tagbar) fancy 1 this:

let g:tagbar_iconchars = ['▸', '▾'] 

the plugin symbol didn't show glyph <br> character instead. noticed same problem appeared when attempting change symbol in several other plugins (vimfiler, airline, etc) , found out if changed symbols in _vimrc file rather in new .vimrc file issue fixed.

is there encoding being set source command in _vimrc file triggering problem? thought "changing" vimrc file location way did fine, there other problems method?

in pre-7.4 vim, cleanest way source "real" vimrc default user-level vimrc ($home/_vimrc (windows) or $home/.vimrc (unix)) place in $home/vimfiles/ (windows) or $home/.vim/ (unix) , use line line in default user-level vimrc:

runtime vimrc 

since 7.4, vim automatically tries source $home/.vimrc and $home/.vim/vimrc so, if work machines running 7.4, can safely stop doing trying do.

also, on windows, canonical location config $home/vimfiles, not $home/.vim.
