In *Shell* using cmdproxy.exe on w32 a character shows up as \377:

It is actually from a directory list where emacs.exe is shown:

   2006-12-10   16:14     6 588 879 emacs.exe

It seems you have set your thousands separator to be a non-breaking space, and cmd.exe is using cp850 or cp437 for its output, while Emacs is expecting windows-1252 or iso8859-1.


I am not sure, but the non-breaking space is then probably coming from Control Panel - Regional and Language Options - Regional Options (tab) - Standard and Formats - Number (on Windows XP). I can think of nothing else I have changed in this area.

Then this is the normal condition for many pc:s in Sweden. Where do I found the codepage used by cmd.exe? What should Emacs do in this situation?
