Take a look at line Actually, it handles it just fine. The problem is that call-process and start-process both use the same coding system to encode arguments and to encode the data sent via stdin to the process, whereas you want them to be distinct. If you want them to be distinct, then you need to manually encode your arguments before passing them to call-process. I.e. the bug with hexl-mode is in hexl.el. Please report it separately indicating how to reproduce the problem (I don't know how to "applying `hexl-mode' to UTF-16 texts"). Stefan
