I think if you set the language environment correctly this will be set properly. latin-unity will fix this up if-and-only-if your original coding system handles everything in the buffer. Otherwise, you need to reset language environment by hand. See lisp/mule/european.el for examples of how this works, or latin-unity-latin9.el.

It's not clear to me how such support can be properly implemented, anyway. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN My nostalgia for Icon makes me forget about any of the bad things.
