Bug

All Platforms - Unity Version Control: Inconsistent Display of Encoding Differences

The display of encoding differences has been updated to consider the "effective" encoding.

If the left contributor is detected as UTF-8 and the right encoding is detected as NONE, but the system encoding is also UTF-8, the encoding differences will not be shown.

The BOM will also be considered when displaying encoding differences.

These changes will improve the accuracy of encoding detection and the display of encoding differences.
