I'm not sure I understand, but I'm pretty sure it's known ;-) If you mean that a latin-2 char is not the same as a unicode char (e.g. for searching purposes), then you just need to use unify-8859-on-decoding-mode as well. This can't be the default because it has a few undesirable side-effects (harmless for the typical user, but annoying for people working on some Emacs files such as ucs-*.el where we do want to be able to talk about the difference between a latin-2 and a unicode char). > I can unify a-umlaut from latin-2; but unification does not take place > for characterslike "LATIN SMALL LETTER L WITH STROKE" (x0142). I don't understand what you mean "the unification does not take place". Please just explain step by step what you did and what you expected as if we were terminally stupid (this seems necessary when discussing such things as unification because it has various different meanings in the context of the current Mule code and it's too often difficult to know which one we're talking about).
