Please keep in mind that UTF-8 is not the only encoding in the world. I had to read the rest of the thread to understand that you meant "a UTF-8 file with the above chars". Indeed the stock Emacs distribution doesn't yet handle UTF-8 encoded asian chars quite right. IIUC the development code is getting closer, but isn't quite there yet. To get what you want you currently need to use Mule-UCS (which I gather is one of the things that are included in TEI-Emacs). Stefan
