- Create wordfiles containing Unicode characters
- Wordfiles can be saved as ANSI, UTF-8, or UTF-16, with or without BOM
- Use Unicode characters in keywords, comment characters, indent/unindent strings, brace matching, more...

New "/Word Select Include" wordfiles setting for overriding delimiters for navigating / selecting:
- Allows you to set override default delimiters on a per-language basis
- For example, /Word Select Include = $ would cause the "$" symbol to be included when double-clicking a word to select
- This would also cause Ctrl + Left / Right Arrow to skip "$" (instead of stopping on it)

Delimiter based sort:
- Specify delimiter to sort by field (instead of specific column numbers)
- Makes IP address sort possible
- Faster brace / tag matching in source with very long lines
- "Filter on selection" switches to "Clear filter" when toggled on
