You want to set your keyboard-coding-system: M-x set-keyboard-coding-system RET utf-8 RET the coding system you want to use is utf-8 because that's what Mac OS X's Terminal uses by default. Problem is: Emacs-20.7 does not support utf-8. Emacs-21.2 supports it to some extent, so it should work there. You may also need to set your terminal-coding-system in order to display those chars correctly. Stefan
