forcing @charset

[Mark Volkmann]

I have this line at the top of my .scss file:

@charset "UTF-8";

I want that line to appear in the generated CSS even if it is pure
ASCII because I'm checking my .css files with JSLint and it expects
that line.
Is there a way to tell Sass that I always want that line in the output?

Add a utf-8 character to your files -- It can be in a comment.

Thanks for the tip! I tried that, but it's not working. Maybe you'll
spot what I'm doing wrong. Here's what's at the top of my .scss file:

@charset "UTF-8";
// Force output of above line by adding a unicode character. ♫

Note the musical note character at the end of the comment line.
When I regenerate the .css file, it still doesn't contain the @charset line.

Sass is pretty smart about charsets. Try making it a loud comment:

/*!  Force output of above line by adding a unicode character. ♫ */

Thanks! That fixed it. It also works with just a multiline, non-loud comment.
