When you are in the Open file dialog, choosing format 'Text - Choose Encoding' will let you select the mentioned GB18030 encoding, and using that will show the file correctly. Well, almost, because there's a display regression since 5.3, I opened bug 119211 on that. Considering this bug, I'm not sure if the default encoding or order of priority can be changed (not, as far as I can see), one could argue that'd be a nice feature to have.
Yes, the GB-2312/GB-18030 must be opened using the file format "Text - Choose Encoding (*.txt)", and from that dialog select appropriate Character set (Chinese Simplified GB-18030 in this case), and Language (if not picked up from user locale). If the OS provided file management does not allow selection of the text import filter type--then set to "false" the "UseSystemFileDialog" stanza (found in Tools -> Options -> Advanced: Expert Configuration dialog)--and use the LibreOffice file dialog to make the GB-18030 text filter selection. Question might be if a properly set user local should pick up text encoding--but then is GB-2312/GB-18030 a proper "default" for simplified Chinese use locals? =-testing with-= Version: 6.2.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) Build ID: 0a1a4ffb4f87adff7fbbbc60202b6a0e42fedd0c CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: GL; TinderBox: Win-x86_64@42, Branch:master, Time: 2018-08-08_23:17:46 Locale: en-US (en_US); Calc: group threaded
