Re: Characters lost when saving UTF-8 file on win32 (21.5.16)

Sorry, you'll have to create a private charset to hold the characters you need, or get another editor. The GETA MARK (which is an older convention for U+FFFD REPLACEMENT CHARACTER, from the Japanese JIS X 0208 standard) means that XEmacs can't represent those characters internally with the charsets currently available. Replacing the current Mule internal representation with Unicode is planned, but not going to happen soon. We should signal an error, though, or query the user about how to handle those characters. GNU Emacs may work for your purposes, it has a somewhat extended repertoire of characters, although I think that their released versions do not cover all of Unicode yet. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
