utf-8 into function

utf-8 into function

[Guldo K]

Hello.
I included this into a function:
    (set-input-method "italian-postfix")
    (set-language-environment "Latin-9")
    (set-buffer-file-coding-system "utf-8")

the first two do work, but the latter does not.
Could you please tell me why?

Thanks,

*Guldo*

Isn't the error message perfectly clear?

Wrong type argument: symbolp, "utf-8"

(set-buffer-file-coding-system 'utf-8)
