Mined provides both extensive Unicode and CJK support offering many specific features and covering special cases that other editors are not aware of (like auto-detection features and automatic handling of terminal variations, or Han character information).

Basically, mined is an editor tailored to reliable and efficient editing of plain text documents and programs, with features and interactive behaviour designed for this purpose.
Mined runs on many platforms: Unix (Mac OS X/Linux/Sun/HP/BSD and more), Windows (cygwin, Interix), DOS (djgpp), including legacy systems (old Unix systems). Was also ported to VMS, EMX, and even still compiles with Turbo-C.

- Han character information with description and pronunciation
- Auto-detection of text character encoding, edits files with mixed character encoding sections (e.g. mailboxes), transparent handling and auto-detection of UTF-16 encoded files
- Auto-detection of UTF-8 / CJK / 8 bit terminal mode and detailed features (like different Unicode width and combining data versions)
- Comprehensive and flexible (though standard-conformant) set of mechanisms to specify both text and terminal encodings with useful precedences.
- Flexible combination of any text encoding with any terminal encoding.
- Encoding support tested with: xterm, mlterm, rxvt, cxterm, kterm, hanterm, kde konsole, gnome-terminal, linux console

- Search and replacement patterns can have multiple lines
- Cross-session paste buffer (copy/paste between multiple even subsequent or remote invocations of mined)
- Optional Unicode paste buffer mode with implicit conversion
- Marker stack for quick return to previous text positions
