I use set-input-method to type cyrillic via cyrillic-yawerty and that works just dandy. Then I save it in unicode using universal-coding-system-argument utf-8, but when I use find-file to open it again the cyrillics are replaced with placeholders. (I make sure to switch coding system before I do that, of course) Oddly enough they show up just fine in vim, or my unicode-aware term, and can be seen by the usual tools like 'cat' and 'less'. What am I missing? Why doesn't Emacs plug in the chars automagically? After all, it can find the fonts since I can type the darn things. *sigh* -- "Thinking gives you wrinkles!"
