utf-8 to standard output?

utf-8 to standard output?

[Herbert Schiemann]

I have a problem using princ to write utf-8 - encoded text to standard
output. I tried this script:

#!/usr/bin/emacs --script
;;; umlaut.el --- Kodierung der Ausgabe

;;; Code:

(princ "Ä\n")
(princ (encode-coding-string "Ä\n" 'utf-8))

;; Local Variables:
;; coding:utf-8
;; End:

;;; umlaut.el ends here

and I get

herbaer@lena:~$ ./umlaut.el > umlaut

I want to output the letter "Ä" as 0xc3a4.
What is going wrong?

Thanks, Herbert Schiemann

You're using the wrong version of GNU Emacs! Or, if you want it to be  
the right version, you might need to set up MULE accordingly.

With GNU Emacsen 23.x and 24 your example works:

	00000000  c3 84 0a c1 83 c0 84 0a                           | 
√..¡.¿..|
