Error: Unable to Determine Encoding for New Files

[lljbash]

After #336 was merged, creating a new file in Neovim and attempting to complete with Copilot triggers the following error, disrupting the completion process:

Error executing vim.schedule lua callback: ...oad/nvim-linux64/share/nvim/runtime/lua/vim/lsp/util.lua:178: Invalid encoding: ""
stack traceback:
	[C]: in function 'error'
	...oad/nvim-linux64/share/nvim/runtime/lua/vim/lsp/util.lua:178: in function 'get_line_byte_from_position'
	...oad/nvim-linux64/share/nvim/runtime/lua/vim/lsp/util.lua:485: in function 'apply_text_edits'
	...l/share/nvim/lazy/copilot.lua/lua/copilot/suggestion.lua:491: in function ''
	vim/_editor.lua: in function <vim/_editor.lua:0>

set encoding? shows encoding=utf-8. Closing and reopening the file resolves the issue.

I am meeting the same issue, but closing and reopening the file does not resolves for me.

I add the following code to use 'encoding' as default encoding to fix this:

	if encoding == "" then
		encoding = vim.api.nvim_get_option_value('encoding', {})
	end

Put these below the line 490 of suggession.lua file to fix the problem.

I don't know if this is the best fix, though.

This problem is already fixed in #346

This problem is already fixed in #346

Oh, thanks for the fix! I hope this gets merged as soon as possible.

Fixed via #346, thanks @Syu-fu!
