The file config.log can give you more details.


When the buffer's encoding is set to UTF-8 you can simply type the  
maths characters on your keyboard. When you set read-quoted-char-radix  
to 16 you can insert them by typing C-q 2 2 6 b <something not  
hexadecimal> or C-q 1 d 7 4 a <something not hexadecimal> to insert  
the character from this position in Unicode (U+226B or U+1D74A). UTF-8  
support is improved in GNU Emacs 23.x.


When you copy something in a modern windowing system, then not only  
some text is copied (and this text can be copied in many different  
coding systems) but also text attributes (bold, not upright, at 24  
pt). And this combination is inserted by pasting it into some buffer –  
in a different text encoding. Some customisation can be done in the  
windowing system and some in GNU Emacs.
