I asked a question about this before the changes were made, but nobody
seemed to know the answer. I guess you maybe just missed the thread.
Forcing Emacs to use UTF-8 would be trivial, we're currently pulling
the locale value from the OS, and as far as I can tell it's always
returned as something like "en_GB" rather than "en_GB.UTF-8". We can
just append ".UTF-8" to the string before running setenv.
My biggest concern about that is that I don't know if there are
situations where [NSLocale localeIdentifier] will return ".UTF-8" or
something else.
Here's a patch to force UTF-8:
src/nsterm.m (ns_init_locale): Append .UTF-8 to locale string.
