When I paste two kanji characters from Mozilla (Debian package 1.4-4) to Emacs 21.3.1. from the Debian package or to the CVS version compiled by myself (21.3.50.1), I get \x{65E5}\x{672C} The numbers in braces are the correct Unicode code points of the characters in question. I repeated the experiment in a different Debian installation. When I paste from Galeon 1.2.5 to Emacs 21.2.1 from the Debian package, I get just 2 question marks. However, when I paste them into exactly the same CVS version as above, I get two strange characters (displayed as question signs in reverse video), the first one being reported as "c with acute": ------------------------------------------------------------------------ character: ć (0346, 230, 0xe6, U+65E5) charset: eight-bit-graphic (8-bit graphic char (0xA0..0xFF)) code point: 230 syntax: which means: whitespace buffer code: 0xE6 file code: not encodable by coding system iso-8859-2 font: -ETL-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--16-160-72-72-C-80-ISO8859-1 Composed with the following character(s) `—¥' to form `æ—¥'. There are text properties here: fontified t untranslated-utf-8 26085 composition (0 3 [326333]) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The Unicode code point is correct, but the rest seems a complete mess :-(. Las but not least, a good news: the characters are pasted correctly in unicode-emacs. Best regards Janusz -- , dr hab. Janusz S. Bien, prof. UW Prof. Janusz S.
