I'm never sure if it corresponds 100%. > (I actually prefer using utf-8-emacs-unix, since emacs-internal is an > alias, and deceptively doesn't mention its EOL conversion.) `emacs-internal` works both in Emacs-22 and Emacs-25 (and presumably in Emacs-36 where we'll be using the new quantum-character encoding). IOW it says precisely what we want: the internal encoding used in the current version of Emacs. Whereas utf-8-emacs-unix reads to me as "some Emacs-specific encoding related to utf-8", so the intention is less clear. But either way works, it's a matter of taste, Stefan
