No. When I launch GNU Emacs 22.0.50 with -Q and look into an UTF-8  
file from Kermit I get:

   character: – (342387, #o1234563, #x53973, U+2013)
     charset: mule-unicode-0100-24ff (Unicode characters of the range  
U+0100..U+24FF.)
code point: #x72 #x73
      syntax: _ 	which means: symbol
buffer code: #x9C #xF4 #xF2 #xF3
   file code: #xE2 #x80 #x93 (encoded by coding system mule-utf-8-unix)
     display: by this font (glyph code)
      -B&H-LucidaTypewriter-Medium-R-Normal-Sans-10-100-75-75-M-60- 
ISO10646-1 (#x2013)

which looks OK. How is the output when you launch GNU Emacs 22.0.50  
with -Q?


Check particularly the "buffer code!" Yours is different. I am using  
a simple text buffer, mode-line starts with ``-u:´´. (Although I've  
seen ``-E:´´ also – which is a bug in GNU Emacs 22.0.50: the first  
UTF-8 encoded file it opens it does *not* open in UTF-8, but in  
Japanese, at least for me).
