I think it should be iso8859-1, but the variable's description does not says it is customizable. "C-u C-x =3D" prints: character: =85 (133, #o205, #x85, U+0085) charset: eight-bit-control (8-bit control code (0x80..0x9F)) code point: #x85 syntax: which means: whitespace buffer code: #x85 file code: not encodable by coding system iso-latin-1-dos display: by this font (glyph code) -outline-Courier New-normal-r-normal-normal-13-97-96-96-c-*- iso8859-1 (#x85) Following the documentation, I've tried to customize "current-language- environment" to "Italian" and restarting "eshell", but it doesn't change anything. Thanks.
