Each program entry consists of a text file formatted with an INI-like syntax.

They must be:
Encoded in `UTF-16 LE (Little Endian)` or characters out of the ANSI range will display broken.
They must be encoded in UTF-8 without BOM (Byte Order Mask) in this repository.
However, when you are testing a new entry file with RAPPS in ReactOS or Windows, they are stored in UTF-16 LE (Little Endian) encoding in the `rapps` folder on disk - otherwise characters out of the ANSI range will display broken.
**Note:** some editors like Notepad++ call this format `UCS-2 Little Endian.`
