Those files tells what is displayed in IE and=20 Firefox and how the swedish character =E4 was entered (though I guess som= e=20 info might be missing for the experts here). I find this a bit confusing still. What character is entered by Emacs=20 when I type =E4 on my swedish keyboard?

Testing National Characters in Emacs, IE 6.0 SP 1 and Firefox 1.0= .7

Using GNU Emacs 22.0.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.0.2195) of 2005-09-28

The header in this file contains <xml version=3D"1.0" encoding=3D"iso-8859-1"?>

This is swedish =E4 entered in a new utf-8 file.

Compare this with using UTF-8

Testing National Characters in Emacs, IE and Firefox

Using GNU Emacs 22.0.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.0.2195) of 2005-09-28

The header in this file contains <xml version=3D"1.0" encoding=3D"utf-8"?>

Character and context	Internet Explorer	Fir= efox
This is swedish =C3=A4 entered in a new utf-8 file.	Wrong	Correct
This is swedish =C3=A4 entered after opening the file again.<= /td>	Wrong	Correct
This is the swedish character =C3=A4 entered in a new iso-885= 9-1 file.

Compare this with using ISO-= 8859-1

Testing Emacs display

If <xml version=3D"1.0" encoding=3D"utf-8"?> is changed to use 8859-1 Emacs still displays the entered characters as they were correct.

Conclusion

Emacs and Firefox seems to handle this correctly. However due to bugs in Internet Explorer only ISO-8859-1 currently = can handle both browsers.
