Public bug reported:
I've been trying to edit UTF-8 files with emacs (emacs23 23.3+1-1ubuntu4) but
it doesn't seem to work.
The UTF-8 characters don't appear (I get boxes) and emacs doesn't want to save
the file in utf-8, asking me instead to choose a different format.
I can view the files with less without any problems (before I attempt to edit
them with emacs - once emacs tries to save them back they seem to be damaged).
I've also tested it with the UTF-8 sampler page found here (same results):
http://www.columbia.edu/~fdc/utf8/
Xemacs seems to be having the same problems too (xemacs21-mule
21.4.22-3.1ubuntu1).
