I think Emacs is trying to tell you something and falls over. Anyway, "my" Emacs doesn't know this function (I'm on 23.1.91), so chances are that it belongs to some external package. > and will not save.

It might be that Emacs is trying to ask you which encoding to use to save this file (maybe the current encoding can't represent this "enhanced" character. Try to set the encoding yourself (e.g. to utf-8 would be a safe bet) before saving -- e.g. via C-x RET f (or via menu->Options -> Mule (Multilingual Environment) -> Set Coding Systems ->For Saving This Buffer (Maybe your version doesn't have a "For Saving This Buffer" entry. But it surely has a "For Next Command" entry: use this then and save immediately after this). Does this help? To find out where the offending call is, you might try to switch on debugging (M-x toggle-debug-on-error) before triggering the error.
