It should usually work using the method Dave described in his answer   I can confirm seeing  TextFX Characters  in the Available tab in Plugin Manager    If it does not  you can try downloading the zip file from here and put its contents  it s one file called NppTextFX dll  inside the plugins folder where Notepad   is installed  I suggest doing this while Notepad   itself is not running

For Notepad   64-bit   There is an unreleased 64-bit version of this plugin  You can download the DLL from here  drop it under Notepad   plugins NppTextFX directory and restart Notepad    You will need to create the NppTextFX directory first though   As per this GitHub issue  there might be some bugs lurking around  If you run into any  feel free to raise a GitHub ticket for each  as the author  HQJaTu  is recommending  As per the author  the code behind this binary is found on this branch     Tested on Notepad   v7 5 8  64-bit  Build time  Jul 23 2018
