Research direction

Start with advanced_new_file.commands.cut_to_file, especially entered_file_action and _open_and_add_content_to_file, which appear in the traceback. Reproduce the issue with a UTF-8 CSV containing the reported character, then verify that Cut to file completes without the UnicodeEncodeError and preserves the file content.

Description

I have UTF8 .csv file and Cut to file doesn't work.

From the console:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "advanced_new_file.commands.command_base in \Data\Installed Packages\AdvancedNewFile.sublime-package", line 315, in on_done
  File "advanced_new_file.commands.command_base in \Data\Installed Packages\AdvancedNewFile.sublime-package", line 344, in entered_filename
  File "advanced_new_file.commands.cut_to_file in \Data\Installed Packages\AdvancedNewFile.sublime-package", line 47, in entered_file_action
  File "advanced_new_file.commands.cut_to_file in \Data\Installed Packages\AdvancedNewFile.sublime-package", line 71, in _open_and_add_content_to_file
  File "./encodings/cp1252.py", line 19, in encode
UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character '\u021b' in position 20: character maps to <undefined>

Thanks!
