strange error

[Rajinder Yadav]

Is there a way to force emacs to save in utf-8 ? I was cutting and 
pasting code out of emacs and getting strange errors. I then opened up 
another editor, pasted in there and then copied out of 2nd editor and 
pasted the code and everything was fine, strange error gone!

You can change the encoding of a buffer with 'C-x RET f', which invokes
`set-buffer-file-coding-system' - that will allow you to set the buffer to
UTF-8 or any other supported encoding.

hmm not seeing that? i am using a ruby on rails setup with ecb and 
cedet, i wonder if one of those are doing something with the mode line.

I would guess; the indicators are the defaults, not something that gets turned
on post-hoc, so it /should/ be there.

The Options -> Mule -> Set Coding Systems menu has entries.

You could launch GNU Emacs in an UTF-8 environment (LANG and LC_CTYPE  
set to some UTF-8 locale).

You could use in your init file:

	(prefer-coding-system 'utf-8)
