Does emacs have a command I can run which tells the buffer to change its self so that it displays utf-8 characters correctly? The way I work around this is sort of convoluted: 1. open a new and blank buffer 2. paste some utf-8 text [ from a browser usually ] 3. save At this point, emacs asks me: select coding system (default mule-utf-8) The buffer behaves well until I shutdown emacs and open the file a week later. TIA, -Dan
