I use Emacs on many platform so I keep all my text file in UTF-8, I have this in my .emacs: (prefer-coding-system 'utf-8) On the Mac, I can open a terminal and run Emacs -nw and all the characters = work. On the iPad, I use Prompt (http://www.panic.com/blog/2011/04/introducing-prompt-ssh-for-ios/) to open a ssh session on my Mac and run Emacs remotely. Whenever I try to add a "French" character such as "=E9" or "=E8", I get "\351" in the buffer and Emacs will complain if I try to save the file. If I switch the coding system to iso-8859-1, I can enter the French chars without any problems. Is there a setting I can change to make UTF-8 work when I access Emacs through ssh? Carl
