Tho it doesn't fully support all aspects of Unicode (far from that), it doesn't "lack support for UTF-8". So please explain to use more precisely the problem you encountered. Note that the precise behavior depends on the exact version of Emacs. The support for Unicode has been improved at every new release (and will continue so for the forseeable future). Stefan
