Carbon Emacs *can* save in UTF-8. Make sure that you do not have any  
settings that make a particular type of files saved non-UTF-8 (as I  
have for TeX, for example). The mode-line contains information about  
the encoding. If it's not starting with ``-u:´´ then you can change  
this from a menu: Options -> Mule -> Set Coding System -> For Saving  
This Buffer – C-x RET f <your choice> RET. *Messages* and *scratch*  
should be UTF-8, when there's nothing that prevents it.


The command ``defaults´´ works also on ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist.  
For example:

	defaults write ${HOME}/.MacOSX/environment LANG <your choice>
	setenv MANPATH `defaults read "${HOME}/.MacOSX/environment" MANPATH`	 
~/.cshrc
	export PATH=$(defaults read "${HOME}/.MacOSX/environment" PATH)		 
~/.bash_login
