What does your $LANg look like? If it is not an UTF-8 locale, I guess you need the following in your .emacs: (prefer-coding-system 'utf-8) I also have this in my .emacs: (set-language-environment UTF-8) (set-terminal-coding-system 'utf-8) (set-keyboard-coding-system 'utf-8) I hope this help, -- Jérôme Marant

See also /usr/share/doc/mule-ucs/README.Debian. Thank you, thank you I had mule-ucs installed even before, but didn't read the README. By the way, what is the some reason for which it is disabled? A major reason is mule-ucs overwrites Emacs features which cause troublesome such as bug#341593. Other things are, upstream is not active, next Emacs release has native UTF-8 support which should be prefered, etc. Anyway, you can enable Mule-UCS-Unicode at your own risk. And what does the sentence in README ... mule-ucs ... support is feeble, Mule 4.1 supports Unicode better or something like that mean? Don't worry about it. Emacs 21 provides Mule 5.0 which has similar feature of Mule 4.1. (Emacs 20 provides Mule 4.0 which lacks auto-detection for UTF-8, and patched version of Emacs 20 provides Mule 4.1 which supports it.) -- Tatsuya Kinoshita pgpHv44SBT18W.pgp Description: PGP signature
