So, I take a new buffer, type M-x set-input-method RET japanese-katakana RET a SPACE e SPACE i SPACE o SPACE C-x C-s, and then it says: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ These default coding systems were tried to encode text in the buffer `test': utf-8 iso-latin-1 However, each of them encountered these problematic characters: iso-latin-1: ア エ イ オ ウ ヤ utf-8: ア エ イ オ ウ ヤ The first problematic character is at point in the displayed buffer, and C-u C-x = will give information about it. Select one of the following safe coding systems, or edit the buffer: euc-jp shift_jis iso-2022-jp japanese-iso-7bit-1978-irv iso-2022-7bit Or specify any other coding system on your risk of losing the problematic characters. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ So, what's the matter? I thought that unicode inclued all the characters, and that utf-8 was able to transcribe all unicode character, or not? Of course, I insist and save it with utf-8 encoding, then when I load this utf-8 file later, I get rectangle frames instead of katakana... Is this a problem with mule, or is it with unicode? -- __Pascal_Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Do not adjust your mind, there is a fault in reality.
