Check if the text works in given charset/codepage/encoding. If not, the plugin will highlight them.

Steps:

1. Open a text file.
2. Set the charset you want to match.
3. Non-compatible characters will be highlighted (for example, red).

Target encoding:

• codepageValidator.Charset → Shift_JIS

Highlight text style:

• codepageValidator.Style.Foreground → red
• codepageValidator.Style.Background → transparent

Validate when editing:

• codepageValidator.RealTime → true

• Upstream: It is impossible to add an option auto picking the encoding.
• The compatible version is not tested. This plugin may work or not work on vscode older than 1.41.0.
