RStudio IDE

Hi,
I am using RStudio 2024.12.1 Build 563 in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
When I create a .Rmd or a .qmd file, RStudio opens and saves the files with ISO8859-1 encoding. This happens in spite of having checked the global option "UTF-8 as the default encoding". I can change the encoding with the option "reopen with encoding...", but after saving with de desired encoding (checking the option "Set as default encoding for source files") and closing the file, when I open it again, it opens with de ISO8859-1 encoding.
What can I do to solve this problem?
PD: This problem does not happen with .R files.
