I've installed xlwings through the command "pip install xlwings".
I've started running "xlwings vba edit" through the powershell terminal in VSCODE.
I typed "Y" when presented the file that would be affected and prompted to proceed.
When I open the bas and frm files to edit, some characters are substituted by question marks in vscode though.

When I save the files, the question marks go to the excel workbook, substituting characters like "õ", "ú", "é", "ç", which is not desired.

I then tried to change the encoding in vscode to "windows 1252". The characters were fine after this, but after trying to save, i got the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xe7 in position 1232: invalid continuation byte

How can it be solved?

I'm using Windows 11 Pro and Office LTSC Professional Plus 2021
