So your reply does not make sense to me. Why do you care about what is in the Lisp sources? The Lisp sources do whatever they need to do to produce appropriate contents in the buffer they create. > Bug #31807 has additional information about why this is > problematic: in some contexts one cannot easily copy+paste > source code that contains such chars.
