I don't know what you already told Markus, so I give him an imprecise answer anyway. Hi Markus, OK Nice. Well 21.2.x (the development series) contains support (in theory) of UTF8, (maybe UTF7), UCS16 and full ISO 10646-1, both on input, displaz and output. In theory it should be complete (it is just another coding system as far as Emacs is concerned). For me it works on simple stuff (I can read in an UTF8 encoded file and have it display correctly even using non unicoded fonts). There still are some problems with it 1. It needs to load some huge conversions tables and that is a torture test for the lisp loading code in itself. 2. AFAIK it is untested for real work. This is mostly because there is an extreme scarcity of real world unicode/UTF8 encode files. I also am not sure the display side has been tested, something for you? Jan
