I will refer to the people mentioned in your question as colleagues (but they could be friends or customers or students or authorities or managers). Your computer means the computer you are using (probably under Linux) for GNU emacs. Their computer or the other computer is the one used by the collague.=C2=A0 I see several possible issues. The other computer don't have the required font to display some character (like a cyrillic letter, or =C2=A7 ....) The other computer (or your colleague) don't know that the file is UTF- 8 encoded. The other computer don't have any editor. the other computer has an editor which does not understand UTF-8 encoding. The other computer has an editor requiring UTF-16 encoding. The file has been corrupted during transmission.
