On my debian desktop running xfce, emacs by default goes into unicode mode
On my recentest ubuntu running unity, emacs shows a '1' instead of a 'U' and messes up non-ASCII characters unless I manually make it unicode by some means or other, like
;; -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
or just setting it or whatever
1. How do I make emacs choose unicode in all cases?
2. There is some misconfiguration outside of emacs... where to look?
