Honestly I don't know enough of wiki(pedia) but I am oops sure/not
sure that the coding is more general. I tried to convert the document
using iconv to iso8859-1 and it failed. I have seen in those documents
Hebrew, Cyrillic and other codings, so that might be "true" utf-8.

I check that, but brute force
emacs -font
"-adobe-courier-bold-r-normal--18-180-75-75-m-110-iso10646-1" -bg
grey86 \!* & works so far, so that is fine for me, right now

Could be, I will try thanks anyhow

PS right now I send this using xemacs no mule, hope the message does
get messed up if not, I might consider any sort of mule solution in
the future
