We have a installation of TFS 2015 on premise here and we are having a issue with new files created via web browser, all new files are created with UTF-8 encoding and generating this characters ���� in the code viewer.

the problem is solved while setting the enconding to 1252 via Visual Studio / Source Explorer.

Right click on the file -> advanced > properties -> general -> set encoding

How do i set the default encoding for new files created via browser in TFS 2015 online (on premise)?

[EDIT] Step-by-step Open Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2015 Select Team Project, at the team project page, go to "Code", click at the "..." , "Add Files" (like the image below).

I have the issue if i have characters like "ã", ,"õ", "ç", "á", etc.

Which browser are you using? I tested on my side but cannot repro this issue. Could you please share the steps to reproduce the issue for troubleshoot? also provide the specific characters/strings if possible. – Andy Li-MSFT

Whatever, you can Configure Version Control File Encoding via Source Control Explorer in Visual Studio as you did.

However, you can try to enable Auto-Select option ( View > Encoding > Auto-Select.) if you are using IE. (The default settings in Internet Explorer 11 : Unicode (UTF-8) and Left-to-right document.). You can also select other language encoding, go to View > Encoding > More. Select the language encoding, Then restart IE. See Auto-select language encoding setting in Internet Explorer for details.

For Chrome browser, you can try changing the encoding via the extension Set Character Encoding

UPDATE:

I tested with the characters you provided with UTF-8 encoding, they displayed well, no garbage characters.
