> The Lisp Machine character set
Emacs doesn't support such an encoding/charset, does it? Maybe it
should?
No, not yet. I can see about doing that.
Is this character set documented somewhere? The Lisp Machine
Manual I have seems to say that \210 is BS or Overstrike, not LAMBDA
(https://tumbleweed.nu/r/lm-3/uv/chinual.html#The-Character-Set).
That is how the Lisp Machine sees things (there is an implicit
conversion of the files from the host to the Lisp Machine when read
over Chaosnet); e.g, newline is #o215, but when files are stored on a
Unix host they have been translated so that newline #o215 becomes
#o12, similar for tab, etc so things are viewable on ASCII systems.
So there are two encodings, one is native to the Lisp Machine (where
#o215 is left as is), and the other one for UNIX (where #o215, etc,
are translated).
