Hello All,
Newbie question.
What is meaning of '-u:--' in mode line? This is displayed for the
scratch buffer. Does this u mean Unicode encoding? if so, is scratch
buffer encoded in unicode? If so, how I see the encoding of other
buffers?
thanks

Yes. Probably utf-8 or one of its synonyms. If you type C-h i m emacs m mode
line you will see the format:
"
Normally, the mode line looks like this:
-CS:CH BUF (MAJOR MINOR)--LINE--POS------
"
cs is coding system and ch is edit status. If you make a change, the two
hyphens after the colon will CHange to **

Hi,
This is explained in the emacs manual:
C-h i m emacs <ret> m mode line <ret>
will get you started.
HTH,
Tyler

M-x list-coding-system RET
or
M-x mule-diag RET
can show all the possible abbreviations for the coding systems used
for buffers.
