Due to my concerns with CJK and Unicode, this was the first thing I did when I set up my Emacs. I should reiterate: Since I already have a solution in the form of TEI-Emacs, it doesn't matter to me so much personally whether or not this issue is solved here. But I would like to point out that although there has been much generous advice offered on the matter, I haven't heard a subsequent response from anyone who has been *successful* with this--and I mean in a real UTF-8 environment, and not the 7-bit HELLO file. This is also a true among my colleagues in East Asian studies who are using Emacs. Every one of them that I know who has handled the problem successfully has done so through the TEI extension. So until we hear otherwise from someone who has succeeded, and can tell us how, I would suggest that it is simply not doable with the present build of Emacs, and that we should just admit it.
