# `desktop-entry-contains-encoding-key`

The `Encoding` key is deprecated in the FreeDesktop standard. Instead, all strings must now be encoded in UTF-8. This desktop entry specifies an `Encoding` of `UTF-8`. It is harmless but can be dropped.

The `desktop-file-validate` tool in the `desktop-file-utils` package may be useful for checking the syntax of desktop entries.

Severity: | `info`
Experimental: | `false`
