Package: emacs21
Version: 21.4a-1
Severity: normal

In UTF-8 locales, from UXTerm or Gnome-Terminal:

dixsept:~> echo .\\u20ac.
.€.
dixsept:~> emacs -q blah

If I select the output of "echo .\\u20ac." and paste it to emacs,
I get:

  [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In hex: 2e 1b 25 47 c3 a2 c2 82 c2 ac 1b 25 40 2e.

The solution I found in gnu.emacs.help

  (setq x-select-request-type '(UTF8_STRING COMPOUND_TEXT TEXT STRING))

doesn't work.

If I copy-paste from Firefox, I get what I expect, but can't save the
file (emacs doesn't recognize it as UTF-8).
