Hi,
I have encountered a problem with the utf-8 encoding in emacs

In essence (please consult the single-line files that come enclosed):
 I load the file utf8.in.2 into emacs and then write it out to utf8.goodout.2 - things are fine!
 This file contains just all umlauts.

 I load the file utf8.in into emacs and write it out to utf8.badout - when emacs prompts
   me for the encoding I select "utf-8". Things are not good then.
   This file (utf8.in) contains the name Oeztuerk, where Oe and ue are written as umlauts

The files utf8.in and utf8.in.2 where created with TextEdit on a Mac using UTF-8 encoding and
then checked for proper encoding using hexdump -C. To my knowledge, the files are ok.

I hope this is of help. Please contact me if you need more information.
Yours truly, willi doeringer
