What is the type of the string? IOW, what's
(get-text-property html 'foreign-selection)
?
This should be one of the usual X11 string formats: STRING
(iso-latin-1), COMPOUND_TEXT (compound-text-with-extensions), or
UTF8_STRING (utf-8).
If it's anything else, Emacs should try to detect the encoding
automatically, and fall back to Latin-1 if that fails.
Thanks.
